Summary: lots of not what NOT TO DO.
Review: Having a plant nursery for 20 years I can tell you if this book is you only resource be in for a wild ride. He states many places what has cause him the most problems, but no one starts a nursey the same and workable ideas would be better than the work he calls stressful and more important than growing plants. Our nursery is the opposite of stressful and has so many happy rewards never mention in this book.........Very little help on selling and getting customers also.

Summary: just OK
Review: The book is definitely not filled with technical knowledge but is useful for someone who is thinking of starting a nursery. If you are looking for reference manuals look elsewhere (I suggest The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation). But if you want a book that will give you the Essentials on starting a nursery this book will give you some basic knowledge and help you decide what area of the industry you should pursue.
