 An Absolute MUST for CraftersDec 13, 1999
By Karen
Barbara hasn't forgotten a thing in this wonderful book. From start to finish, each page is filled with a surplus of information. From setting goals to setting prices; marketing to networking, Barbara discusses it all. Any crafter who is interested in selling their work should buy this book. No, borrowing from the library simply will not do. You'll want this book around all the time. It's the crafters' Bible!

Lots of infoSep 04, 2001
By Lisa Smith
"Lisa Smith"
I'm only half way through the book and already she's saved me the cost of the book. Her advice is sound and should help anyone who's dabbled in crafting for a while and never quite knew how to get serious about selling. This is an easy-to-understand wealth of information, and a perfect start on my journey to success.

Barbara has done it again. This new book has every tool you will ever need to run a profitable crafts business. Every aspect is covered from what products to make, legal requirements, record keeping, how to price merchandise, and how and where to market your products. This new edition also includes excellent chapters on selling on the web. A must read for anyone who wants to sell anything! No question is left unanswered!

Wealth of New Information in 2002 EditionDec 17, 2002
By Sue Johnson, co-author "Grandloving: Making Memories with Your Grandchildren"
If you're serious about wanting to turn your crafts into a successful business, you must have this completely new rewritten edition. Barbara has written a "Bible for the entrepreneur!" The book is a bargain that will save you time and money as it leads you through setting goals, developing and pricing your product, into new opportunities and new technologies for marketing your talents. As an author, publisher, and owner of a crafts business, I have found more helpful advice in this new book for all three of my endeavors than in any other resource on my bookself. You won't be sorry you bought "Handmade for Profit".

 Some useful info, but so annoying to readJan 04, 2009
By Emily B. Chapelle
I bought this book based on all the wonderful glowing reviews, but I have to be honest. This book is really annoying to read. While Barbara tries to include many types of crafts when giving examples, it's easy to see that her focus is the country/traditional theme (think teddy bears, calico, painted wood, corn husk dolls, etc.).
Also, her references to religion and God seem out of place to me. Isn't this supposed to be a business book? Not all crafters are religious!
I could deal with those things, other than for the fact that it seems like every other page has some sort of grammatical error or spelling mistake. Did she not have an editor? I looked for an editor's name in the front pages, but didn't see one... case in point: If you plan to publish a book, GET AN EDITOR. Or risk looking very unprofessional.
There is some good information in this book, but I know I'll be hoping to re-sell my copy.
