"Dear Mike, I just finished your book, E-Commerce Gladiator. The book is clearly written and a wonderful resource and guide for anyone interested in e-commerce. Further, I very much enjoyed the format it was written in, showing that nothing comes easy, and organization is of upmost importance. And that no matter how much you try to plan, problems do arise. It is a step by step guide and a genesis of an online business. Great work."
