More Sources of Information

It takes good decisions to run a successful business. And it takes good information to make good business decisions. Each issue, in this column, we try to provide some of that needed information for readers who want to use their woodworking skills to earn money. In past columns, we've covered a wide variety of subjects, all related to the business aspects of woodworking. We've discussed accounting, taxes, marketing and insurance, to name a few, and in future issues we will continue to write about the business of woodworking.

If there's one thing we've learned from writing these columns, it's that a vast amount of published information is available, yet few of our readers know that it exists. So, with that in mind, we decided to devote a couple of columns to a listing of some of those worthwhile sources of information, Last issue, we listed quite a few of the publications put out by the Federal Government's Small Business Administration, many of them available for free. This issue, we are listing several books and magazines that we think might be of interest to a woodworker in business. Any of these books can be ordered from a bookstore but, before buying, check your library as they may already have a copy on hand.
