Review: Not the Best Guide
Rating: 2 out of 5

I downloaded a couple of Pinterest guides and read this one first. By the time I finished this book I had decided that Pinterest was the last site I wanted to devote time to.  The author doesn't venture far enough afield from her own interests - kids, etc. - to give an appealing vision of what you can do with Pinterest.  And the initial pages of hard sell for her money-making let-me-teach-you-how-to-use-the-site endeavors were definitely a turn-off.Luckily I had also downloadedPinterest - Build Your Brand, Your Tribe, Your Sales (2nd Ed)which is much more fully fleshed out and gives a much better sense of what you can do with the site.  If I start pinning it will be because of that book, not this one.A more specific beef with this book is that while the author touches on the copyright issues that are a huge problem with Pinterest, she unfortunately doesn't seem to understand copyright basics.  It's not "fine art" that is copyright protected - it's everyone's creations - my photos, your photos, etc. I'm not sure which is worse - don't mention the copyright elephant in the room, or to give incorrect advice about it.
