TTAH RECOMMENDS: Pick for February 2008

It's been a while, but I finally refreshed TTAH Recommends. I had good reason to, too - I just picked up and read Craft, Inc. by Meg Mateo Ilasco, and I've determined it's an absolutely essential book for any crafter. It's a very fast read, but it's filled with vital information for anyone going into the handmade business - though I consider myself to be pretty well informed on business management and I still learned a lot out of it. It's well designed, well written, and I was able to read it thoroughly in a single evening while still taking every point in. The designer interviews weren't as inspirational or exciting as I had hoped (I found myself skipping them after a while), but it was a fun and unique addition nonetheless. I highly encourage you check it out, as it's very insightful and is especially wonderful for those who are either considering starting a business or in the early years of one.
