Barcode details for Dummies

This was great. Layman’s terms made for easy understanding. I have a good understanding of Barcodes and can make an informed decision when ready to purchase products.

Overall good information

I liked the fact the author told me step by step how to start using barcodes for my inventory management.
I did feel as though this book was written to promote the authors own barcode inventory management software. I didn't like that.

However, for someone wanting to learn how to start using a barcode system for inventory management, I highly recommend this book. It give you the basics to get started without it costing a lot of money.

Concise and helpful

I've been looking for direction for keeping better track of my inventory. I am part of a two person mobile booth, with a good inventory base, but no effective and easy way to keep track of it. This answers basic questions and put me in the right direction.

Very good introduction

A good basic intro for the beginner. Now I know where to begin my search for a solid inventory system.

Too generic

I was expecting the contents of this book to be more in depth about barcoding for a small business. But it's simply an overview. I kind of regret buying this book.
