The business advice in this book applies to manufacturers of all sizes, not just "small" ones. About 4/5ths of this book's information can be also helpful to a host of occupations outside manufacturing: service businesses, creators of intellectual property (I ran a recording studio) any many others.
The price of this book is substantial. Still, it's a lot less then the tens of thousands of dollars it would cost to hire someone to travel around the U.S. Asia and Europe collecting the same competitive intelligence what methods the industry leaders use to improve their operations.

I looked for months for someone who could do a presentation on selecting the right tool for a small manufacturing company. Experts all said, "Wow, that would be a really good topic. I don't know who could do it." Now we know. Steve Novak has pulled it all together in a nice package with a personable style. If you are manufacturing anything and don't know which tool is right for you, get this toolkit!
