In a nutshell:<br /><br />Craftinc is a good starter guide for things to think about when setting up a crafty business (with lots of great interviews for inspiration). But there are a lot of great blogs around at the moment offering similar starter guides / advice, and some of the topics didn't seem that relevant to my business model - there seemed to be a lot of talk about outsourcing, for example. <br /><br />Second steps meanwhile feels very relevant to me as a British designer/maker aiming to make a living making things and goes into a lot of useful everyday detail.Bugs and Fisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973019615558057522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-79831034419344394182009-04-21T22:09:00.000+01:002009-04-21T22:09:00.000+01:00What did you end up thinking of the books Laura?
