Summary: THE BUSINESS OF COMPLICATING ARTIST MANAGEMENT
Comment: During many of my seminars and workshops, people often ask me what is a good book to get on the subject of artist management. I always assume that "good" means beneficial. I also assume that it means easy to read and comprehend.
This book lacks those qualities. Because the subject of artist management is so misunderstood, many books that attempt to clarify and explain the subject tend to complicate it in the process.
So what is the one book should you read on artist management?
As an educator and industry professional I've read most books on the subject and I'm still not satisfied, and thus not comfortable with making a recommendation; however, I will encourage anyone who really wants to know about the business of artist management to contact someone who actually does management for a living and invite them out to lunch (that you pay for) and pick their mind as much as you can about what "real life" managers do versus "paperback" managers.
The section on management in author Lee Wilson's book, "Making It In The Music Business," does a wonderful of discussing the role of the manager in the music business in relation the success of the artist, which is critically important.

Summary: Not that great.
Comment: A decent primer for a completely inexperienced beginner, but it hardly goes past what anyone with basic perception & common sense would already know. And the new edition is deceptive, too - the guy still talks about sending "demo cassettes" - it's pretty sad that they can't even update that basic of a detail. I'd STRONGLY recommend opting for 'All you need to know about the music business' by Donald Passman - it's infinitely more detailed & helpful, and is a very easy, yet informative read - you can get as much or as little out of it as you need.
