As an experienced „home“ Web Designer, but first user of Zen Cart to design an e-Commerce site, I purchased the e-Start book for Zen Cart. The e-Start book gives you the entire picture (very recommended although don’t buy the download version if you plan to print it!) but in a “general” way. To get a bit deeper into it, you need a boost with these tutorials by Lesli Richardson. I didn’t mess around with just one tutorial, I purchased all of them in one shot. In my mine, time is money. ALL of them cost around $20.00!! For the amount of HOURS these info things saved me it was well worth the money.

Note for Lesli Richardson: If your information is valuable, people will pay. You don’t need to increase you total page count to make people think they are getting “more for the money”. Every tutorial is over sized text, 1.5 line spacing, and the first two pages are useless because the title starts again on the 3rd page!! A 40 page document could have been complete in 20, even with the images!! But I guess you thought people would accept the price by page count?

Great point about these tutorials is that they are PRINTABLE. I am only using one monitor and to have the PDF file open and trying to do the edits as explained in the tutorial to the Zen Cart is much easier having a print on my desk and the Zen Cart stuff on my screen!!

Hats off to Lesli. Good job! Next time, please save me paper!

Great eBook. This will save you a LOT of time for your initial customization. Setting up your templates correctly is crucial regarding future version upgrades. There IS a right way and a wrong way, and this book will save you having to do your customizations over when you upgrade.

Very well written in "plain english" as advertised. Highly recommend!
