Customer Reviews: Read 6 more reviews... Worth the Money February 20, 2008 This book is well worth reading. It covers a variety of topics and presents realistic information in a well organized manner. At times it had me wondering why I would ever want to pursue an invention because it does such an excellent job of illustrating the complexities that lie ahead. It is geared more towards licensing an idea as opposed to bringing it to market but is worth the read whatever you are considering. It is a fast read too and does not bog down with a lot of unrelated tangents. Discouraging January 1, 2008 4 out of 7 found this review helpful Reading this book was more discouraging than anything else I've ever encountered. It is a sobering reality check -kinda like telling your 7 year old kid that he's never really going to be an astronaut. The author makes everything sound soooo terribly difficult! I've now recovered from reading the book and am just going to go for it on my own. I do not recommend this book to anyone -the info is not worth his powerful dissuasion tactics. Does this guy want to be the only inventor in the world or something? What is his problem? Scary June 27, 2007 2 out of 8 found this review helpful I haven't gotten all the way through the book but it scared me enough not to want to go through the effort of inventing and marketing something. An Essential Guide for Inventors January 7, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful This book is an essential investment for enabling the inventor to take the right steps, and beware of the pitfalls of rip-off marketing companies and scams, with the thousands of dollars they charge. The Special Bonus Workbook enables you to get started right away, and numerous Bookmark references refer you to the main part of the book for more detail and with many Words of Wisdom. Another useful inclusion are the printable versions of the worksheets from the website for proceeding with commercialization of the product. Valuable contacts of Local Inventors Organizations are also listed to help support inventors. Finally, quoting from the book, "If you perform the exercises in the Workbook enough times, before you know it the process will flow intuitively. Interviewing people, who you have never met, can actually be fun, and you can make new friends. So relax and enjoy yourself. Very helpful with step by step procedures September 22, 2006 6 out of 6 found this review helpful I recently purchased this book, to market one of our company product ideas. When I picked up the book locally at barnes and Nobles, I was a bit reluctant by the quality of the paper and the print. But within hours I was at my office, reading it, and it has abolutely good information. The "words of wisdom", "tricks of the trade" tips on each page are very helpful. One can be in business without understanding many critical aspects of invention and marketing. Being a professional services company so far, this book is helpful for me when I'm venturing into new product inventions, manufacturing and marketing. The books takes the reader step by step with real examples of the authors experience and points out the pros and cons of various scenarios. It also has a comprehensive workbook for every section of the book (convered as a separate module at the end of the book) for the inventor to document and prepare for everything. Wonderfully written book. After browsing through few books, I purchased this one. I also got some other related books. But haven't gone through them yet. I'll review them after I read through them. The author, Ronald has truly manifested his experience for many of us to learn without re-inventing the invention wheel and suceeding without too many trials and errors.
