5.0 out of 5 stars Artist Management for the Music Business, October 14, 2007
This review is from: Artist Management for the Music Business (Paperback)
This is a great no-nonsense "how-to" book about the business of managing recording artists. I loved the way the author assumed no prior knowledge of this business. I've been an artist manager and booking agent, but I got a lot out of this book. I urge any young band or solo artist to get this book and follow the author's advice. Reasonable price, meat 'n' potatoes information, and no fluff -- this is a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars To The Point, November 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Artist Management for the Music Business (Paperback)
This book goes straight to the point and gives the information that any prospective artist manager needs to be successful in such a competitive business. I will use this book as a reference for years to come and so will anyone else who is getting started in the music management industry.
