The verdict
Buy Then Build
GOOD PRICE.
This book presents an alternative path to entrepreneurship where you buy an existing profitable business instead of starting one from scratch. It's written for people who want to own a business and build wealth but are skeptical about the traditional startup route with its high failure rates and years of unprofitable growth.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The core idea is practical and different from typical startup advice. Rather than building something new, you acquire an established company that already generates revenue, which means you can focus on growth instead of survival from day one.
- The book covers the actual mechanics of acquisition, including how to find deals, work with brokers, evaluate companies for hidden problems, and navigate the buying process. This is hands-on guidance rather than theory.
- This approach requires capital upfront to purchase a business, which is a real barrier. It's not a path for someone with no money to invest, unlike some startup models.
As of Aug 31, the Buy Then Build is a good price at $13.89 — versus a $13.85 typical price and a $11.81 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “18% off,” measured against a $17 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $14 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $17 “list price” untouched for 17 months — while the item actually sold for about $14. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
