Exactly what I needed
This book is a must. If you ever want to protect yourself as an artist or music manager.

One of the holy trinity of the music business books
One of the Holy Trinity of the music business books, along with This Business of Music and Donald Passman's Everything You...

If you buy nothing else, buy these 3 books.

Good Book For Basic Information
The book is pretty much all-inclusive. It covers everything form fund-raising to copyrights and more. The attorney who wrote the book is apparently based in California because all of the examples of law are from there. Even so, the book is worth the money.

Must have this book
As an instructor of a Music Industry class at the University of Oregon, I highly recommend this book for the chapter on the recording contract alone. The publisher sent me a copy for consideration to use in class. While I currently use the Brabec book I do tell my students about the Biz and Legal Guide. Should I ever expand the class I will certainly require it. Meanwhile, I can at least give it a good review.

The most important book I have ever owned
This book is an absolute must have for musicians. It is a "how-to" manual for musicians. I STRONLY advice never signing any contract or enter into any deal, as a musician, until you have read this book!!!!! It has saved my @$&@ more than once. Whether you are just playing gigs at bars and clubs, recording at home, or trying to go big, this book can be used as a stand alone road map. I have been using the first edition since the early 90's and just decided to purchase the 4th. This version is even better than the first because now it has been updated for the digital age. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. One browse through its pages and you will quickly realize the gem you hold in you hands. I must sound like a spoke person for the book, but I really believe in its value.
