Would be highly appreciated if some people could recommend some of their favorite/most informable Vending Business Books they have read to gain extra insight into the business as I firmly believe you can never know to much.

I actually just purchased and read RJT's book. Lots of info, he also gives background on why he was compelled to write it, and what qualifies him to do such.

The cd he includes had alot of info as well, from sample business plans and route tracking to proposals.

Great read, and lots of info.

Thanks for the great suggestions. I did already order the Vending Machine Fundamentals as I saw many recommend it before. Is there anything out there that has machine recommendations/specifics out there for reading material? I understand a lot is stressed on location, location, location, but once you get one a good quality machine for the size/price/sturdiness is key to keeping the location.

To my knowledge their is no book that is only or mostly about machines in general. The problem is machines are like cars in that they change from year to year and manuf come and go so writing a book specific to machines only would be tough. I do address machines in my book and name brands and how and what to buy. I also posted in you thread where you asked about machines and gave you my opinion.
