Dean Brown, CEO of American Steel Buildings Inc. (ASB), has published a new book titled Self Storage The Journey, a detailed industry guide for people interested in getting started in the self-storage business. Available in paperback ($26) and PDF ($19) formats, the book includes information on industry history and present trends as well as predications for its future. The book has been two years in the making by Brown and ABS staff.

Based on phone conversations with many prospective customers over the years, Brown says few of them really know where to start in the business. He saw a need for a guide that would explain what to do and when to do it, as well as where to locate a new self-storage facility.

ASB has providing building systems to the self-storage industry for more than 17 years. Info: www.selfstoragebuildinginformation.com.
