On one of our family trips to Borders (yep, we think going to bookstores together and hanging out there as a family is fun:) – I saw this book and started reading it. I could not put it down and so when it’s time to leave the bookstore, I bought it :)

I agree – its a good investment – good to read whether you want to make money on blogging or blogging just for fun.

I came across it in a local Barnes & Noble, but didn’t buy it. After this glowing endorsement I think that I might pick it up on my next trip to B&N.
