Excelent
Devided half theory and half real stories it is perfect for starters in the magazine publishing business. An accent to statistical information on magazine performence makes evidence of all statements of the author. I am sure he is an industry guru. Buy the book it is neccessary for your success.

Quick read and lots of hands on advice = success.
I found the interviews of people who have started magazines to be helpful. I do hope, however, that the next edition includes an interview with Jerome Belanger (founder of Countryside & Small Stock Journal) and with John Shuttleworth (founder of Mother Earth News.I have previously communicated with both and found them to be entertaining when discussing what they did right and what went wrong while launching their great publications. Since Samir discusses how the sale of Mother Earth News and its decay thereafter, the interview with Shuttleworth should be enormously helpful to the entrepreneur dreaming of publishing a magazine.
Still, this book is one of three I will keep stocked on my reference shelf in the event that I launch a magazine.
The book is an excellent companion to How To Start A Magazine by James Kobak and to Starting & Running A Successful Newsletter or Magazine by Cheryl Woodard.

Not much here...
With respect to the other reviews, and to the author, I did not get much out of this book. Some of the stories of those who have started their own magazines were really sophmoric and added little to the body of knowledge needed to tackle such an enormous task.I found Cheryl Woodard's book far more detailed, informative and cautionary.
