Handmade Marketplace/Kari Chapin

Handmade Marketplace: How to Sell Your Crafts Locally, Globally, and Online by Kari Chapin; how-to, business; 224 pages

This is a great resource for anyone who wants to try making some extra money off their hobbies. Chapin targets this book towards crafters who want to sell online (either from their own website, or a parent site like Etsy), at craft fairs, or in local shops. She interviews successful merchants from all around the U.S. for tips on how to set up a shop, market your business, and more. The legal chapters were particularly helpful--Chapin includes information on sales tax, registering a business, and liability. Highly recommended for people interested in selling their crafty projects.
