	101 Ways to Grow Your Business With Barter: A Guide to Thriving in the 90's and Beyond (Stepping Stones to Success Series) by Kirk Whisler, Jim Sullivan Paperback (1997)

Reviewer from Washington, DC, 1998
Although I may be a biased opinion as I am interviewed in the book (more like a manual), Mr. Whisler and company do a very thorough job of discussing the ins and outs of trade. In fact, as a "how to" manual, I've never seen anything better and more straigtforward.
If you are a business that is seriously considering bartering your excess capacity, I'd suggest you order this book today. It's an easy read. Best wishes. Mark Servatius
