I️ read this book to learn more about drop shipping. It’s a bit dated but core ideas are still relevant. Still not interested in drop shipping though

A very insightful book into the basics of dropshipping in an uncluttered style.

Enjoyed the frank look at a business I'm interested in.
The writers are very knowledgeable and forthright

A good read to get started.

A good companion piece to "The 4 Hour Workweek", for sure...

Ya it's available for free online but for this much material, I prefer print. So I bought the book. Definitely a good general primer on the subject of drop shipping. Book could've used some closer editing - plenty of typos, including an entire paragraph repeated on pg. 58! Also don't like some of the advice these guys give in chapter 4, saying that picking a niche/products you're passionate about isn't important. That just doesn't seem sustainable to me. Building a drop shipping business is a lot of work and it better tie into one of your passions if you plan to stay motivated, IMO. The SEO tips are fairly elementary but helpful for anyone without knowledge on that.

But I didn't know anything about drop shipping before buying this book and now I know "a thing or two" after reading it. The tips on dealing with suppliers, returns, fraud, inventory, etc. are all invaluable. Thanks, guys. Wish me luck on my drop shipping journey?
