From Library Journal

This volume contains sound advice from a savvy professional as well as current information of value for the aspiring novice about common procedures and practices, prices, rates and percentages, personal networking, negotiating, and, ultimately, selling in the field. While more detailed coverage of many of these topics is found in Sidney Shemel and M. William Krasilovsky's standard This Business of Music and More About This Business of Music , David Baskerville's Music Business Handbook and Career Guide (Sherwood Co., 1982. 3d ed.), and The Song Writer's Market , the Handbook 's contribution is its glimpse into important interpersonal aspects of commercial music. It is unfortunate that the text is marred by a rambling, jargon-laden, style and dubious organization. For music libraries and large general collections. Ralph Holibaugh, Rice Univ. Lib., Houston
