Business Made Simple: A Beginner's Guide review
A $17.99 beginner business guide sharing its invented doctorate with another title from the same seller.
Pass
For someone who has never run anything, a short plain-language overview has a place, and this one at least covers money rather than only marketing. The limits are structural: business formation, tax registration, invoicing rules and liability all depend on where you live, and a country-neutral guide has to skip precisely the parts that get beginners into trouble. Government small-business portals cover them properly and free. The credited co-author holds a PhD in Business Building Without Investment, the same non-existent degree given to a different doctor on this seller's thirty-day strategy title.

The overview, without the paperwork
Fundamentals, a plan, goals, marketing, sales and finance for beginners.
Covering finance rather than only marketing puts it ahead of most beginner guides.
The dangerous parts are local
Company form, tax registration, invoicing and liability differ by country.
Government portals and chambers of commerce publish that material free.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Gladys Andrews with a PhD in Business Building Without Investment and 29 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 354000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
