    I received this book three days ago. To be honest, at first feel, the book seems thin and I wasn't expecting too much out of it. But actually this is a great read, full of knowledge. So far I am half way through. There are stuffs that I learned from this book are highly consistent with my research, for example how to contact laundromat supplier to find the lead, so I know author was telling from his own experience.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information, but shouldn't have skimped on an editor
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2011

    I was thoroughly impressed by Mr. Lombardi's simple, matter-of-fact manner in explaining the ins and outs of the coin laundry business. I would heartily recommend this book to someone getting started in the business, for it would allow one to avoid many of the mistakes the typical "go-it-alone" entrepreneur makes. Excellent analysis without the fluff. 120-odd pages and a very easy read. You could get through it in an hour, but it's meant to be used and considered as you read. The only thing I could find to complain about this book is the tremendous amount of spelling errors that any remotely competent editor would have picked up on and corrected, as they usually do for the thousands of spelling-impaired but talented authors out there. Most of these errors are the type that a word processing program won't pick up on: "verses" instead of "versus" (p. 10), "in vein" instead of "in vain" (p.11), etc. This seems a small point in the big picture, and it is, but it conveys a sense of amateurism that is belied by the content of the book itself. I worry that some may lose the forest in the trees, missing the excellent message of the book by being caught up in the errors. That aside, a wonderful, usable treatise on how to get into this profitable industry.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing read to consider in order to make a good decision.

    I am doing research to know weather buying a Laundromat will be a good business for me. This is the very first book I buy and I think that this is a great book to help you with your decision making. It is full of great advise that I do find its highly valuable. Despite that I have not read more yet, it was a great start for me since I am not even sure yet if this is what I want to do. I am a mother of 3 kids under 5 and in my mind a Laundromat was like a dream business with little to no much involvement. I have a long road ahead of me with my decision making but I still think that this book was a great opener for me and my husband while making the decision. Thank you Jason for taking the time to put this together.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Savvy and Straightforward
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book was worth every penny. It's written in plain clear language from a businessperson who really knows his business. There are only a couple minor editing errors, nothing that derailed me. There are some pointers to the website, but this is not a "hook" for website products or traffic. I ran a service business for nearly 10 years. I bought this book because I'm researching a career change. Based on the areas that are common to both industries--like customer service, marketing, research, and metrics-- I'm persuaded that the author really knows his business and is writing very clearly about it for the first timer. Well worth the purchase.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this book after some extensive laundromat purchase information of my own. The book did a good job of organizing my thoughts, and I was able to take a few nuggets of information from it. However, the most important chapter regarding valuation has references to spreadsheets that the author sells on his website for $60! It even shows images of the spreadsheets that he is talking about. The book is pricey as it is for 124 small paperback pages. These spreadsheets should come free with the purchase of the book, not be mentioned at all, or downloadable for free or a much more reasonable price.

    Quite an interesting book. A bit short for the price. (My #1 bestseller is over 350 pages and under $5).

    But if you are interested in a basic book on owning a laundromat based on the author's personal experiences you will enjoy it.

    I liked that he was clear about how much hands on work was required.

    Very informative, nicely organized, well written. I found this book to be a great source of information on evaluating a landromat for purchase. Easy to understand, with sufficient depth of knowledge on how a coin operated laundry is run. Loved this purchase. Well worth the price. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking of buying a running coin laundry. It does not cover establishing a new laundromat from scratch.

    A recommended read if you are in the market for a Laundromat. Most information applies to the United States - Canada and the UK have a much different industry - however, most of the concepts (especially in valuation) apply.
