Great price online. Its pricey at my campus's store. A dull and lengthy read, but useful if your Music Business calls for it.

As hard as it is to put artist and business person in the same body, anyone who wants to succeed as a musician must at least try. This book is a comprehensive and practical resource to use. I would use it, however, in conjunction with other resources that can provide complementary information and updates on how the music business is changing today.

The new updated edition of Music Business Handbook And Career Guide provides the latest insights into the industry, which is going through extensive changes. For one, digital downloads and piracy are changing how music itself is available to the public. Online music, iPods, and other computer-based changes are transforming not only how the industry does business, but how it presents products and sells them. Sections on careers include all kinds of options, from managing artists to producing concerts, producing motion picture and TV scores, and more. A focus on all kinds of interactions between artist and producer, record company executive to band, makes Music Business Handbook And Career Guide one of the most comprehensive music business books on the market.
Excellent!

I had this as a textbook in my Intro to Music Industry Studies at college. It gives you all the basic aspects of the music industry, including jobs, marketing and a bunch of other stuff. It doesn't go into great depth so if you're wanting a more detailed view of how the music industry works I suggest that you try to find another book to buy separately or go along with this. It includes all of the basic terms necessary for the business of recording, marketing, merchandising, etc.
