The one book anyone running a small business should buy.

Without a doubt, the best book on this topic I have ever read. The ultimate self-help book for anyone running or thinking of starting a small business.In plain language the author carefully takes you through the legal minefields that any small busiess owner must contend with. The organization of the book is great. The writing is very lively. She answers all those legal questions you agonize over when you are thinking of starting a small business or already have one up and running. I wish I had this book when I first started my business, I would have saved myself a lot of time and money. But better late than never.Buy it.
