Summary: Start Yout Own Coffee and Tea Store
Review: I cannot in truth reccomend this title to anyone else. The vast majority of the book is standard small business / resturant material. Only a very tiny portion is devoted to Tea specific material. (And that portion is not very useful to anyone who knows Tea.)

Summary: Start Yout Own Coffee and Tea Store
Review: I was sent this book through a library loan. I wish I would have received this book earlier in my adventure. It was a great resource for beginning information regarding a coffee shop. I will go out a get a copy for myself for reference. I highly recommend this book for any person thinking of beginning a coffee business.

Summary: worst book I've bought
Review: The first line of the preface should tell you everything you need to know about this book: "Start Your Own Coffee and Tea Store is the result of many hours of in-depth research into the mail order industry."
Uhh... okay. You'll quickly discover that this is a generic book tweaked just a bit for the coffee business. You'll find anecdotes about carpenters, wildly varying numbers about the profitability of this business, and such sage advice as, "Although it is still possible to rent telephones through certain telephone companies, the best bet is to buy your own. They are inexpensive, come in a variety of styles and colors, and are generally covered by a warranty."
The information in here is dated (1994) and, given the inconsistencies of dollar figures from chapter to chapter, I have no idea if it was ever accurate. Despite the listing in Amazon.com, nobody had the courage to even sign their name to this book -- there's no author listed anywhere, neither on the cover nor anywhere inside.
I'm planning to return this book, if I can. Given that there were some marks in it when I purchased it, I'm pretty sure someone else had bought and returned it before me.

Summary: Perhaps the biggest waste of a tree yet known!
Review: The paper used to publish this book could have better served mankind by burning in a forest fire.Sorry for the harsh review but there is no good excuse for a quality publisher to put out such a generic useless book - Bill Anderson.

Summary: A Must Have
Review: This book starts with the basic and covers everything! The book is organized into 21 chapters in addition to appenixes. It will get your brian crankin' ideas about the business you may want to start and get you questioning yourself. This book includes a self-evaluation for the entrepreneur and tells how to form a business plan. I highly recomend this book weather you are planning to start your first business or a second.

Summary: Okay for a general book
Review: This book was good in the general starting a business vein. However, it really does not deal in real depth with the actual coffee/tea business. A bit of a disappointment.
