Made this fitting discovery by chance at the Brooklyn Business Library. It's about when you stumble into doing business while doing something you love.

I recommend it for people looking for the basics.

This book has some really solid advice for you to start building from to start your own business. I didn't like the repeated plugs for other books and the repeated suggestion to visit the publisher's website, but overall this was a good book for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Good for hitting the ground. I have a lot of questions about how to get there, but at least the roadmap seems a little clearer. Nice overview of the issues involved.
