 Good for Beginners May 12, 2010
Scott C. Boggs (Harrisburg, PA)
I purchased this in hopes of using it to refine my contracts and proposals, but it falls a little short. I suppose, if you treat your business as more of a in-and-out service firm, the contracts might work well. However, in the case of my design studio which often offers lengthy proposals with extensive contract verbage at the end, it didn't shed much light on how to ensure all my legal bases are covered in an ever-more-complex world of design and development.

I'm sure the book would have been helpful to have in time for class but I never received it.

Full of information most of us do not really think about, like pricing, contracts, etc. Worth every penny.

I recently got this book and from what I have been seeing so far I know that this book will be so valuable to me. I recommend this book for artists of every medium.

I first saw this series of books when working in house in the late 90's. I somewhat forgot about them until seeing the book at a local Big New bookstore, where I picked up the most recent copy and checked it out a bit. I realized that I should have bought this book years ago, when I first went out on my own in the design world, so I came home and ordered it up on Amazon (for about 40% off the price it was at the bookstore.) I probably should have bought it at the bookstore, since I spend a lot of time there but times are tough, you have to save where you can.
The book is broken down into just about every segment / classification you can think of. From designing stamps for third world countries to doing medical illustrations for advertisements (and literally everything in between). There are a few tiny holes (ie: catalog layout), but with so much other subjects / materials for cross referencing, it's pretty easy to figure out what the rate should be.
All in all, I'd HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone who does any freelance or contract work in the creative field. It would be a great gift for any recent or future college graduate in the graphic design / illustration field. There's loads of information inside it's covers.
