This a a great book with loads of detail but only if you are a complete novice to ETSY and just starting on your journey. If you have a shop and are up and running I do not see that this offers you much over the information you can get from the ETSY Seller handbook or the forums

Good but missing an important detail

A good overview. I do find it disappointing that no resources mention that AFTER you have entered all your personal banking information Etsy requires you to upload your personal ID to their servers to prove your identity... no thanks! If this book had mentioned this, it would have saved me a lot of time and energy.

Highly recommend.
Walks through steps that you may not have thought of, and screen shots. My book is covered with notes for my shop and pages to revisit. Gonna start up on Etsy but need a friend to help guide your way? This is the best book to be your best friend during the start up process! So much advice! Also extra tools and such you can access after buying the book..
