Rating: Summary: Helpful and informative. Review: As someone interested in starting a vending business, I found that there is a huge lack of information about the business - the types of vending, the How's, Why's, the money, everything. Bill Way's book is just about the only good resource you can find, and it's only 'Okay' at best! This book is frustrating in that it's basic, while being too 'dense' to make sense. The pages are put together in the WORST example of graphical layout I've ever seen. You'll be reading, following a column down, and realize it no longer makes sense! Oh!, they jumped over to the NEXT column and continued!!Good as a re-reference book, but possibly a bit too expensive for what you get... the only reason I rate it so highly is because it's just about the only thing out there to get you started. Unfortunately, he also spends a lot of time in the book promoting his website....

Rating: Summary: The perfect book for someone new to vending Review: Bill Way has created the perfect book for someone in vending. He does not over-hype the potential profits like most vending promoters do, but he does emphasize the great opportunity one can have with a vending business. He's honest - and not a crook - like lots of people who sell vending machines. Even though he pitches his own vending machines some, 95%+ of the book has EXTREMELY valuable content for anyone looking to get into or expand their vending business. I highly recommend it. 5 stars!
Rating: Summary: The absolute best book on vending. Review: Bill Way has written the best book available on vending. The book is full of information, data and analysis on every phase of the vending business. It is written in an easy to understand format and tells things "like they are". I'm sure some currently involved in the vending business don't like what he has to say, but he clearly lays out the pitfalls, scams and dubious offers of the vending world today as well as the tremendous opportunities available. I used this book as my guide and it has worked exactly as he said. This book is a must for every person considering the vending business, but anyone interested in vending would benefit greatly from it.
Rating: Summary: Bill Way knows what he's talking about. Review: Bill Way's book was very very helpful. I thought the book was wonderful and had a lot of great advice. Everything in it seems to be true. We have started our own small vending business and have used his book to get started. It was a lifesaver. Bill is realistic and practical, not hyped up. I appreciate that. Thanks, Bill!!

Rating: Summary: Real Hands on Tips Review: I bought bulk vending machines after buying Mr. Way's book. He really helps you with buying the right machines and obtaining good locations. He also helps you avoid the "Business Op Scams" so common when buying your machines. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about a vending route.

Rating: Summary: I am a successful coffee vender Review: I bought this book from Amazon. I am now an owner of 30 different coffee venders worldwide. Thank you for helping me!
Rating: Summary: A really long sales pitch on why to buy machines from him Review: I felt like I should have gotten this book for free as much of the book was just marketing materials for his company. There were a few good nuggets of information, but the layout and quality were fairly poor. So, it was tough to find the gold. For a much more objective take on the vending business without the hype, I'd highly recommend Bryan Krug's "Vending Business-in-a-Box" or Ronnie Talent's "Vending Jackpot."
