[.ca] The McGraw-Hill Guide to Starting Your Own Business (ISBN 0071410120)

Very good:
This is the best book on starting business that I've come across. A lot of practical tips on various strategies (marketing, pricing, promoting etc.). However, it is probably more about running a new business rather than steps in opening one. Worth reading thus. Phuong , MA in Economics student @ U of Toronto.

Eye Opening!:
I would highly recommend picking up this book to anyone contemplating opening a small business or maybe struggling with an existing one. It is an easy read and reminds you of the common pitfalls, at the same time motivating for success...
