I recommend two books about the independent software vending business: _Micro ISV: From Vision to Reality_, by Bob Walsh (Apress, 2006) <http://www.amazon.com/Micro-ISV-Vision-Reality-Bob-Walsh/dp/1590596013/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228929083&sr=8-1> _Eric Sink on the Business of Software_, by Eric Sink (Apress 2006) <http://www.amazon.com/Eric-Business-Software-Experts-Voice/dp/1590596234/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228929037&sr=8-1> There are usually a few used copies of these for sale on Amazon (follow the links) and the reviews there will tell you more than I can. I got a lot out of these and found them very helpful in figuring out whether to and how to go into the software vending business. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
