    Starting from Scrap: An Entrepreneurial Success Story

    I just finished this book, and thought some of you might like to read it. You will not learn anything earth shattering about scrapping, but it is an excellent story. The most interesting part of the book is the starting a business from nothing, entrepreneurial spirit angle.

    Good book! I read it as well. I agree with your comment above regarding not learning anything earth shattering about scrapping. Worth a read though!

    Is it available any way other than as a Kindle book? I'd like a physical book, but failing that I'd buy it for my ipad.

    Great book as well.It was a stamping plant that produced parts and shut down. This book takes you through the entire process of it. Its sad and depressing but its a great read.
