What industry leaders have to say about Inventing on a Shoestring Budget! . . .
"This book is a MUST HAVE for every inventor's bookshelf and workshop. In my 35 years of dealing with inventors, this is the one to read." - Ronald E. Brown, President Patent Search International
"I think that the book is a 'must read' for independent inventors, especially for those with a minimum of inventing experience and also, for those that want to do as much of the process as possible to save money. I think that inventor groups across the country would be wise to promote the book to their members as the easy-to-read book provides basic and essential inventing knowledge from concept to market/licensing." - George Burkhardt Inventor, Technology Advocates of San Antonio
"Inventing on a Shoestring Budget! ™ tells the inventor, in simple language, how to evaluate an idea, how to protect it, and how to get it to market without going broke. The book tells inventors where they can cut corners and where they mustn't, where to find trusted cost-effective resources and how to steer clear of 'get rich quick' scams. Inventing on a Shoestring Budget!™ is the essential resource for every successful inventor." - Alan Beckley, Business Consultant, SBDC of Plano, TX Former President, Texas Inventors' Association Inventor, Savvy Caddy®
"As with your previous book, The Everything Inventions & Patents Book, I have found this book exceedingly reader friendly and inventor helpful. It nails the issues squarely and to the point, while maintaining a very supportive and 'can-do' tone, which all of us need to hear, especially when the going gets rough." - Carol Oldenburg Administrator, United Inventors Association
"The 'Sisters of Inventing' have really done it this time! Barbara Pitts and Mary Sarao have reduced the complex world of inventing down to a series of practical steps that anyone could follow. At every step, they give crucial information on how to proceed in the most economical way – and you'll be surprised how little money is needed. Inventing on a Shoestring Budget! i s an amazing piece of work that I highly recommend to anyone who is or wants to be an inventor." - Randall Landreneau President, Final Phase Product Placement Former President, Tampa Bay Inventor's Council

Finding the Source for Nearly any Product -
by Dane
Have you ever been to a specialty store and seen something you thought might sell well in your business? But maybe you wondered how to find the wholesale product source for it? Here’s a way to find out the wholesale product source for just about any product.
Look at the UPC Label. Nearly every product on the market is labeled with this code. If you’re not sure what a UPC Code looks like, About.com has a write-up on UPCs here.
Write down the first 6 numbers of the UPC Code (or enter them in your PDA). When you get back to the home office, get on the web. The Uniform Code Council maintains a free reverse lookup website, where you can type in those numbers and VOILA! It will show you the primary supplier (with address) for that item.
