 Outstanding practical guide, 2008-10-06
I read this in an afternoon; I just consumed it. I sure wish this had been a textbook while I was in college! Honestly it made me feel I'd lost time, and what was I waiting for?

 For the beginner, 2008-08-03
This book was really for the beginner whom wants a career as an artist. This is a great book for a beginner. There was very little new information for me which was disappointing. That said it was motivational, and provided information about taxes for the artist and consignment forms which was in fact information that I knew very little about. It was a quick read so if you have access to a copy then you might as well read it but be forewarned, there was no information on grants which was my motivation for purchasing the book. Sorry Cay!

 valuable resource for emerging artists, 2008-04-17
This book is ideal for those of us artists who are just breaking into the selling part of our art careers. Lang offers really sound advice, good strategies for developing your professional image, and covers the full spectrum from selling directly to the public through smaller venues through selling through galleries. It's the kind of book you can refer to repeatedly over time, so good value for the money.
