Great Map to Getting Your Store on the Web
I am using this book to get my online store up and running - it is an excellent map - showing me the way and steering me clear of the many pitfalls involved in opening an onine store (especially those involving credit cards). I wish there was more information and reviews of the checkout process (shopping cart services) as this is the part I am most confused about -how do I get a shopping cart on my site. There is some coverage of some services and I think there are even more services available now that weren't available when this book was printed. It would be great if the author wrote an updated version but as it is, it is pretty updated and aside from that one tiny complaint - the book is excellent and I highly recommend it. It's the best book out there today!

Good Overall getting started book but lacks depth
This is an excellent book that I would recommend for everyone interested in putting a store on the web. However it is NOT a book that explains the actual site design aspect of making your own store. I assumed this would show how to make a store from the site designer's stand point, and this is book only covers what the store owner needs to to do get started.... It is a great book if you want to setup a store for your business, but if you are looking for a book to actually tell you how to add and setup the code or software that runs the e-commerce part of the web site, this is the wrong book.

What a big help!
I am really interested in starting my own web store. After reading this book, I really feel like I can do it! This book covers everything and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start an e-business but has no idea where to start!
