Book Reviews of The Business of Sewing: How to Start, Achieve and Maintain Success, Volume 2
Book Review: Just a copy of Volumn 1
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased Volumn 1 and 2 at the same time thinking that 2 would have more information, but whole chapters were copied word for word from volumn 1. The only new information was a chapter on how to charge for home interior work.
Both books are great but do not buy both. I think these books are self published. I feel like I was ripped off by the author, so I question her advice about business practices. I will never buy another one of her books.
