Customer Review: The 1999 Franchise Annual: "the original" Franchise Handbook
I was disappointed. Although I am sure it is a difficult task to maintain an accurate, complete, and up to date database on thousands of corporations, I expected more. On a more positive note, the book does a good job of listing corporate email addresses, phone numbers and contact info.
Customer Review: A great book for franchise contact information
When it comes to franchise information by book, this is one of the most comprehensive sources you can find. The author and publisher have done a superlative job.
