 A collection of experts. February 29, 2000

A prior reviewer chastized the author for including information available through several other sources. I bought it because I didn't want to go to several sources, I got it all here in one book. I haven't been disappointed. I've read every word and recommend the book to anyone needing to know about key issues and concerns when franchizing. The contributors get to the point and let you know what you should and should not expect. Also, how to avoid pitfalls. Start your research here!

I happen to know Ann Dugan and I reviewed her orginal book published in 1987 not 1989 as the previous reviewer wrote. The orginal book was written by Ms Dugan alone and did not include the co-authors of this book. All co-authors were given recognition throughout the book. The orginal book was published locally and not widely distributed. Some of the material of the original book is included in Franchising 101 but has been updated. As a consultant in this field I have recommended this book to many potential franchisees as it is the only guide that provides a one stop overview of the entire process from selection to purchase to actual running of a franchise unit.. It is easy to read in a format that makes it highly useful for those entering the franchising process
Very useful if interested in buying a franchise December 18, 1999

This guide is detailed and thorough. People considering franchising as a way to get into business should read this book.
It probes deep into all aspects of franchising November 19, 1999

I am one of the authors of this book. I am also a franchisor with 140units operating in 90 cities in 4 countries. A lot of knowledge from a number of seasoned industry veterans went into this book. It is a must read for anyone considering buying a franchise. I give it to all franchise owners of my franchise system....If you do not buy this book and do buy a franchise you will be at a tremendous disadvantage and will make obvious mistakes that will cost you both time and money. After reading this book you may discover that franchising isn't for you. You may decide the risk is too great. You may discover that you are safer staying in corporate America. You may have wondered why you didn't take the plunge sooner. It goes into pitfalls of franchising as well as the tremendous advantages. Either way just rememeber I told you so. Lance
 I've read this same material before, shame on you June 21, 1999

I've read this same material before, shame on you Ann. The only accurate parts of this book are plagiarized including the title. The original book was written in 1989. Although I see very clever twisting of excerpts from at least 3 other books, and without reference to the authentic authors!
