Manufacturers and Distributors Hate This Book! - Here's something strange.

When Hood first created this ebook, he naturally asked his peers to review it. He sent a copy to industry manufacturers and distributors.

Almost none of them liked it! In fact, some wrote to say that they hated the book!

At first that confused Hood. He thought he had done something wrong.

But then he let screenprinters read the book. Afterall these are the people who the book was created for and have the most to gain from the information in the book.

Well, they LOVED the book!

As it turns out, the manufactuers and distributors expected Hood to create a book that help them sell more machines and ink. They didn't get it that if the screenprinters that read the book can increase their production, they will sell more emulsion, ink and other supplies. As their business increases they will buy more equipment. The manufacturers and distributors haven't learned the trade yet. All they know is meeting their quota of machines or buckets of ink today. Nothing else matters.

"This book is like having your own personal consultant right in your own shop. While we hired Bill to consult with us in our shop for a week, having this book is like having him on our staff - full time.

We find something new with each read of this book. We printed copies for each of our employees and they have put dozens of the solutions to work in the shop to our great satisfaction. Bravo, Bill! "

"As one of Bill's past clients, we received an advanced copy of the book to review. We had never used an eBook and didn't feel comfortable reading it online, so we printed it out and had it bound at the local Kinkos-FedEx.

The book was massive and full of solutions. There was not one page in which we didn't say, 'damn, I wish I had known that back when I first started in the screenprinting industry. The book turned out to be a tremendous asset to our employees, even though most had gone through the school and attended Bill's lectures at the various trade shows.

All we can say is buy The Book! It is worth 1,000 times the cost!"
