Summary: Unquestionably the most reliable music business source
Review: Without question, the most reliable source for all music business questions, whether you are a tenacious artist, manager or aspiring music industry person. It is a great "reference" book and not the entertaining read that say, Donald Passman's "All You Need To Know" book has. However, if you have a good grounding in music business knowledge, this straight-up book will not steer you wrong. ...
"Resources & promotion for independent artists"

Summary: Sure, it's comprehensive... but it's not accessible.
Review: ZZZZZZZZzzzzzz... This book is like "This Business of Music." It's full fo great info, but it's really, really, really boring. This is something you'd read in a college classroom. I think most musicians would be better off getting some of the newer music business books that are out now which concentrate more on getting out there, making a name for yourself, and making money. Get a few bucks together and go buy the Indie Bible by David Wimble to get some contacts going, get How I Make $100,000 in Music by David Hooper to show you how business people think and how to increase your income playing music, and get Buzz Your MP3 to help get your online promotion together. These are all quick reads with really good info and no filler. Once you have read them, come back for this one. You'll understand it a lot better.
