Holiday Reading: Looking for books on eCommerce, Building Online Shop?

blobert

Hello,

I'm off on holidays for 2 weeks next week and am looking for some beach reading material.

What I'm trying to find is something in the eCommerce field, related to setting up and running an online store, covering items such as importing, storage and warehousing, delivery etc. I'm looking for something quite in depth as opposed to a beginners type of book.

Ideally I'd like it to be about the UK/Ireland/Europe market as opposed to the US one.

Does anyone know of such a book exists?

My other holiday reads include,

The E-Myth
Wake Up & Change your life by Duncan Bannatyne

If anyone has any other top recommendations let me know.

Thanks

I vouch for most people on this forum when I say "The Four Hour Work Week" by Timothy Ferriss.

At the very least, it will inspire you and motivate you.

A lot of what you are looking for is already available on Google. You can get the custom and excise duties on the Taric website and everything else you are looking for online.

Thanks, I've reserved it at my local library, will go pick it up along with Bannatyne's one tomorrow.

I also ordered this, while its quite pricey, it seems to be used in a lot of colleges and probably has the level of detail I'm after:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-Business-E-Commerce-Management-Strategy-Implementation/dp/0273719602/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247609217&sr=1-2

Book Depository have 10% off till tomorrow using the code "itlives" if any of you want to order something from them.

Ordered The E-Myth also and this book that gets good reviews:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Secrets-Selling-Sales-Situation-Financial/dp/0273713000/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247609413&sr=1-1

This should have me sorted for my holidays and well beyond:)

Thanks for the help.
