Well written and packed full of information! Very helpful, I wish I would have bought this before leaving my full time job to start my own business. So many things that I wish I would have had set up before hand. I am implementing much of it now. I have bought several books regarding running a...

An absolute "must-have" for anyone opening a DTP business.

As an experienced desktop publisher, yet a fledgling desktop publishing business owner, I found Kursmark's book to be absolutely indespensible to me. Who knows how to start doing business? What do you do first? What next? Kursmark outlines every step of the process with her folksy "been...
