I liked the book. It was very informative. But if you are really looking into outsourcing, you can find it just a click away, and the workforce is huge. I use http://www.ShortTask.com to outsource various types of work due to its low cost, ease of use and of course the access to a massive workforce. Why go offshore when you can get what you need at a click away? Go to http://www.ShortTask.com. Try it for yourself.
