1: Wonderfull book!
This is the very first book I've ever wanted to take the time to review.
My expectations were low looking at the title. The yield was quite different. Scott Fox very simply details EVERYTHING that you need to get an e-business up and running. I'm not a business person at all and the book was an easy read for me.
The only thing I would add, would be to take Mr. Fox's recommendation and check his website out regularly ([...]). Even though his book was published recently, he has changed his recommendation for some recommended services (such as website building companies). He notes this in his book; his recommendations are dynamic, not static!
Happy reading!

2: Great Value, Loaded with Information
All I can say is that it would take you many hours and you would ahve to speak to many webpreneurs to find out what Scott has aggregated in this easy to read and understand format.

3: Good Book!!
Title a little deceiving but the book is packed with information and should be read by anyone planning to start an internet business.

4: Not As Bad As I Feared
Absolute beginners who know nothing about the Internet and/or business will probably find this book useful, though not necessarily more useful than many free online resources. Fox clearly doesn't know much about the technical aspects of the Internet, but nothing he says is so terribly wrong that it will make a difference. Likewise, the general business information is cursory, and adds nothing to free information available online from the SBA and other groups, but it's accurate as far as it goes.
Fox makes a few points that are quite sound: you don't have to know a lot about technology or business to get started selling stuff online; it's better to get started quickly and learn as you go than to develop a perfect business plan that never gets executed; and overspending at the beginning is a bigger danger than being undercapitalized.
It doesn't take an entire book to reveal these "secrets"; nor is Fox a particularly compelling writer. But not being horribly wrong is actually better than average for a "get rich on the Internet" book. I also appreciated that he didn't advocate spamming or deceptive SEO practices, though he could have done his readers (and, thereby, the rest of the world) a service by covering these issues in more detail. His discussion of copyright could also be both improved and expanded.
While I don't necessarily recommend this book, I don't know of a better one to recommend for an absolute beginner who thinks they might want to get rich online. For general background on starting a small business, I would recommend the classic Small Time Business Operator, 10th Edition: How to Start Your Own Business, Keep Your Books, Pay Your Taxes & Stay Out of Trouble (Small Time Operator).
