Personal Testimonial:
I've been toying with the idea of buying a timeshare for a couple years. There's not a lot of public information on timeshare. A few FAQ's here & there online, but nothing approaching the a-z perspective contained in this book ("Timeshare Condominiums for the Beginner" by Michael Strauss, at Amazon, B&N, etc.). It's light reading... easy to fly through and yet get the information you need. There are a few spelling errors throughout, but the reason to buy this book is to arm yourself with information, and it does that just great. The buyers should not spend 50-60% of their timeshare dollar on salesman commission before reading this book. In some cases it's what they'll end up wanting to do in the end anyway, but at least they will enter the deal with realistic expectations. If the buyer is reading this review after attending a high-pressure presentation, by all means THEY SHOULD NOT BUY until they have done the proper research. The 'killer deal' the salesman just gave them will not disappear in the next couple weeks while they do the research. Even that killer deal that will expire when they leave town represents a 100% markup due to the selling expenses built into it. This book may better educate your potential customers, sellers and buyers as well.
