Etsy for Dummies

I just finished reading a book donated to our art association (Cardigan Mountain Art Assoc) entitled "Starting and Etsy Business for Dummies." I wanted to let our membership know what was in it so I browsed through it and found that even as a seasoned Etsy seller, I found a lot to think about in this book.

It's definitely worth a look whether you're a beginner or a pro on Etsy. And it's a typical "for Dummies" book with cartoons and humor to match.
