A new book on Prosper.com goes on sale today — The Complete Guide To Prosper.com
As far as I can tell everything is accurate at the time of the release of the book (which is no small feat given the pace of change). If you ever wanted to “just read a book” on Prosper to figure out how it works and what is going on now is the time.
One nice thing about a book is that there are no advertisements… One bad thing is that you have to pay up front.
If you choose not to purchase the book, I assure you that if you continue to read RateLadder.com I will do my best to keep you informed as to all the twists and turn in the p2p lending landscape.
Have any of my readers read the book? Please leave a comment telling me what you think.

Prosper.com Lenders Unite: Where is our Interest? First of all, I love Prosper.com. It is a great idea (person-to-person lending, breaking the loan apart into smaller chucks to diversify, credit checks, etc.)... BUT, that fact that a lenders money doesn't earn interest is ridiculous. Once money (it takes 4 business days) is in Prosper.com account interest is not earned. ...... - Prosper.com Lender Game -- RateLadder_com Initial Update -- 12.61% to 12.61% I am RateLadder. I run this website. I am compelling because you are reading this. This blog documents my journey and is a more extensive writeup of what I am doing and why than any I could provide in a single paragraph. I encourage you to look around. I encourage......

“One nice thing about a book is that there are no advertisements…”
I did read the book and I’m actually quite impressed. I just posted a short review on my blog. I think the author’s biggest challenge is staying current. There are already a few things that are out of date with the new Prosper Day releases.
The author avoided lending strategy or some of the more in-depth analysis but this is a good starter book for someone who is going to lend or borrow for the first time.
There probably isn’t any (or much) information that cannot be found online somewhere else but some people prefer to have it in front of them on a written page instead of searching around the net.
I agree with Tom, it’s a good resource for someone just starting out to learn the ropes. I had to laugh at the title of the first chapter, somewhat of an exaggeration if you ask me. I also agree that for more advanced lending strategies you’ll have to stay tuned to RateLadder
