Reviews

A Pocket Business Guide for Artists and Designers is a crackingly good book. * Art Business Today *
What is great about this book is that you can get very quick and to-the-point answers, with good website links to relevant organisations or resources. You can quickly dip in and dip out, or flick through the book, and it also entices you to read the other business questions ... If you want quick answers and to find links to more detailed resources elsewhere then this is a great starting point. * The Design Trust *
