Customer Reviews

Great fun!

This is terrific! The farengi are great! What fun!

Worth any cent!

Time is money, so I'll keep it short: This Booklet is worth the money - buy it!

Rule #141 - Only fools pay retail!

A great little precursor to "Legends of the Ferengi." Giving the timing of this little treasure, it's a very good trek extra. As far as it being rules to live by, I don't know about that. For collector's sake, this is a pure must to have! It's definitely worth the nominal fee. (Just don't pay retail)

A good wife is a luxury; a smart accountant is a necessity.

From the latinum-tongued Ferengi come many witty verbal gems and commonplaces that we hew-mons would do well to commit to memory. Entertaining, insightful and hilarious, the Rules of Acquisition are a treasure not to be neglected by any Star Trek fan, or any cold-hearted, fiscally relentless money-monger. Be the life of the party as you enlighten your friends and family with these sharp-tongued Rules. And make sure to charge them for it. After all, free advice is seldom cheap.

"Ferengi Rules" was great advice for buisiness men today!

This book was excellent! I would definitly buy a sequel. It has plenty of good advice for all the want - to - get - rich people. There were two things though. I looked up the rules in my Deep Space 9 magazines and two had different numbers. But that didn't ruin the book at all. I liked the photos too
