The Reviews

This book has methodically laid out everything you need to know to get started. It's an incredible resource and will save you much deliberation if you are starting a company. Also a great resource for any students of manufacturing or product design that want an insiders perspective.

I am a high heel designer and started my business in 2013. I struggled a lot with some of the start up details. This books answers all my questions and more. Great read and very informative. I suggest it to anyone starting out in the shoe world.

I have purchased all 3 of these books and they are a wealth of insight and information. Furthermore, I have been able to email Wade and received helpful responses from him. Really recommended.

Great information and examples that are followed through the books are immensely beneficial. I'm surprised there's not more material on this process, but I'm thankful I found this book.

Lots of good information for putting out your own product, even if not shoes.

This book was ok, but not what I was looking for.

Excellent product, As described and delivered on time
