  • Catherine

    This was exactly what you need if you're trying to create your own IP and merch stuff and NOT tread on BIG [SF/Super Hero brand]. Covers everything from concept to branding to trade shows. Zippily written with examples and illustrations. Great guide!

    Thank you to Carol Pinchefsky, Red Wheel/Weiser, LLC and Goodreads...I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway.

    I did enjoy the book and it's very easy to follow. Though while I did pick up some good tips, I do feel that sometimes the suggestions in this book might still be a risky decision for business owners. Again, I feel that there are many great tips in this book for starting, or growing, a business. But I still feel that some of the tips given for getting around certain IP's might still be risky.

    But still a fun book to read to gain some tips and insights into the geeky fandom business world.

    I was not the reader this book was intended for. Hard to rate due to this. Down and dirty helpful book to get people started, especially for "geektrepreneurs."

  • Paul Mashack

    It was an easy read and picked up some good info, but not quite what I had expected when I picked it from my neighborhood public library. Let's go with 3.5 stars.
