Summary: Question, not review...
Review: On page 140, Cay suggests "clip-on lights" such as available in hardware stores. What exactly are these lights? I am hanging a show in a dark cafe, and really would like clarification on this option. Thanks! Very helpful, inspiring book.

Summary: Good sense, good business
Review: Thanks to Cay Lang, I am now selling my artwork in the triple digits. As she states in the beginning of her book,
artists would rather be making art than doing business.
This book helps you do both without sapping your creative juices. A new perspective, a simple remedy.

Summary: Cay Lang, thank you for this program ... and the book!
Review: This is a fantastic book that outlines what you need to do to set up and follow through as a visual artist. Every chapter is like a checklist. You can always use it as reference material later, but the book is great whether you read it for the 1st time or 51st time. Bravo, Cay Lang!

Summary: Timesaving, insightful, intelligent
Review: This is a wonderful book for those just starting to tackel the process of getting your artwork out into the world. It will save you time, money and allot of heartache. I wish I'd had it thirty years ago when I was starting out. I learned,as Cay learned, by "trial and error, error, error." I would strongly recomend this book to any artist who is serious about moving ahead in their career. You really can't afford not to buy it.
