I bought this book hoping to open my own home-based travel agency but decided half way through the book it wasn't really the career for me. So I received enough information to let me know that I didn't want to waste any more time pursuing a career as a travel agent. There was information on how 9/11 has negatively impacted the travel industry. It also made me realize how much more difficult it is to break into the business without negotiating with specific companies for referral commissions and that travel agencies now have to charge fees for issuing airline tickets because airlines no longer provide commissions (because most of them have never recovered from 9/11 and are on the brink of bankruptcy). I personally prefer to buy tickets directly from the airlines to avoid additional costs.
I realized that being a travel agent was going to be more effort than I was willing to put forth for what sounds like scraps - according to the authors' description of how the industry currently works.
So buy this book if you are REALLY serious about wanting to start your own travel agency but realize you may not get all of the information because of missing pages and horrible editing.

The book is really good, but it's a little outdated. I thought I was getting the most recent edition (the one issued in 1997) as this was shown as the most recent version by amazon, but there was one issued in 2003, so be sure to get that one, as without that you don't get access to the authors web site.
 Great Book! May 15, 2004

I was a "travel agent" for GTI and just didn't get the support I needed and found the benefits non-existent. But I found out that I wanted to become a real travel agent. I bought both books from Amazon.com and found How to Start a Home Based Travel Agency the best book for anyone wanting to start a serious career selling travel. The other book is good if you want to join GTI or organizations like that. I didn't find many errors in it at all.
This is the book December 24, 2003

While there are typos in the book, How to Start a Home Based Travel Agency is an excellent book that helped me make the transition from store front to home based. After 7 years as a retail travel agent, I was forced to go home-based. I looked at both this book and the other one (Home Based Travel Agent) and found this one to represent the information necessary to make the transition. Tom and Joanie Ogg are well known and respected in the travel business and their expertise goes without rival.Do yourself a favor, this is the book to buy.
