This book is an introduction to selling products on Amazon. It is designed for the beginner, who needs an overview of what is involved.► GENERAL IMPRESSION ◄This book is a brief intro to how to get started on Amazon.  As the title suggests, it's purpose is to get you up and running quickly--not perfect your "shop." The sections are broad overviews, with little detail.► WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS BOOK ◄If you have never sold on Amazon, and want a general idea on what is involved.► TOP 3 THINGS I LIKED ◄♦ Emphasis on customer care, sending the correct product, and avoiding negative feedback.♦ Good discussion on selecting the best "selling plan" that Amazon offers.  Should you pay $40/month, but then have less fees, or avoid the $40 charge, but get less on each sale.♦ Good ideas on how to get started finding product to sell.► RATING OF KEY FEATURES ◄♦ Readability: Well-written, clear.♦ Quality of Charts/Figures: N/a.  Could have used some to spice things up a bit.♦ Quality of Table of Contents: Good sections.♦ Quality of Editing: Good writing style, everything clear and readable.♦ Thoroughness of Index: n/a♦ Usefulness: Very useful for beginners only.► SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS♦ Some areas are way too sketchy--even for beginners. For example, one page on how to "Create your Own Shop" strikes me as inadequate.♦ Text only, no figures makes it a bit more boring than it need be.► ANY SPECIAL FEATURES ◄This is a "Limited time Bonus" feature at the end of the book. If you sign up for their promotions, you can read the author's guide to "Next Stop Success" package.► SUMMARY ◄All in all, a good overview for someone who is just getting started with selling on Amazon.  If you have already sold some products on that site, this is probably too rudimentary for you.√ Recommend for beginners.♫ A Review by Chris LawsonNote: I do not know the author of this book, and no one requested I write this review.
