Summary: An objective take on the vending industry
Review: After reading a couple books that were by people who were trying to find buyers of their vending equipment, I was glad to find this book. While some of the information is on the basic side, basic information is what a beginner like me needed to get started. Plus, the book is very objective. I recommend it for people who are considering vending.

Summary: Bland - not worth buying
Review: This book is bland, bland, bland. Basically it was written by someone who knows nothing about the vending business...they just did a little research on it and put together a lousy book. I own a successful vending business and thought a book from Entreprener Magazine might be handy to get some new ideas from...but it's not. There are few good ideas in this book, old or new. There are better books out there on vending - this one is a waste of time & money.

Summary: Great For Beginners!
Review: This book provides excellent step-by-step guidance to starting a vending machine business. The writer seems to know what it's like to start a small business when you've never worked for yourself before. The writing is engaging but there's no sales and no hype. However, there is solid, easy to understand advice from individuals with successful vending businesses of various types. It helped me see what kind of vending businesses I could start. Also, I really liked the worksheets and other sample items that I can copy and use for myself. Perhaps this book is too basic for someone who already has a vending business, but for a newcomer like me it's perfect -- it's helped me avoid pitfalls and stick with the techniques that result in success. This book has been invaluable in opening up a whole new world for me!
