Title: If re-written, might satisfy a TOTAL novice
Review: I bought this book a couple of years ago and read it in early 2002. My disappointment was due in large part (I thought) to developments in the industry since publication. But I notice that it's still the same edition being sold.Problems:1. Very superficial exploration of issues; does not in any way give you a thorough understanding of the subject2. Nor is it a "how to" guide.3. The dot com crash highlights the book's lack of objectivity - generally bullish on getting into a web business, but no strategic insight into how to sustain it.It may be OK for those with almost no knowledge of the internet *if* it is updated in a new edition. If, however, you keep up with the news and have delved far enough into Amazon to be able to read this review, then you don't need the book.Thank you Amazon for providing the "look inside" function which unfortunately did not exist when I bought Mr. Powers' book.
