Book Reviews of The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything

Book Review: A good fast read for people too busy building a business
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this book for free through one of Guy's investment companies (www.istock.com).
However I would have gladly paid double the amazon price!
If you are starting a new business or are in the throws of setting something up, take the time to read this. It's one of the most practical guides there is and is the ONLY one that I've immediately started re-reading after finishing it.

It will certainly put things into context when times get tough in your new business.
