  Amazon should look into the suspicious previous review!! August 13, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's not cool to promote your book at another authors expense. You be the judge. Check out the "interesting" reviews of the Ty Cohen book the previous reviewer is promoting. But to be promoting that book here is inapropriate at best.

Everyone wants at some point in life to be independent and the master of his own destiny and if your destiny is the music industry then you're in for a big surprise. The music industry is a secluded and closed world, hard to get in and even harder to keep from getting thrown out. Many small record companies have tried and failed at hitting it of with quality products just because they didn't know many things about this world. The book in question here is a very good Bible for those who don't know all about the music industry and want to refine their tactics or learn some new ones.
  Great book March 4, 2006 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Very good and clear book the title states it all. Its a perfect guide for anyone who is trying to become a music publisher
  An excellent resource no serious musician, writer and/or composer should be without January 18, 2006 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you're a serious writer/composer or a performing musician who wants to get a better understanding of the publishing aspects of the music industry, this book is an absolute MUST! It provides you all the necessary tools, tips and advice to get your songwriting/publishing career in motion. Unless you are a veteran songwriter who has already signed a music publishing contract and whose songs have already been recorded, broadcasted and accounted for (and therefore you have collected royalties and know all about the business and legal implications of music publishing), you will find this book extremely helpful and entertaining to read.
Do note that the book focuses specifically on all the areas relevant to music publishing, from the creative to the administrative, which I personally found extremely useful. It is written in simple, down-to-earth and easy to understand terms which will make you not only an able music publisher but also a better songwriter through detailed and effective guidelines and tips.
As for getting signed as an artist by a major label and the business and legal aspects of the recording/performing/touring areas of the music industry, well... this is not that book.
However, if you want to turn your songs into profit, get this book. Of course, no book will provide you a 100% guarantee that you'll succeed in the extremely competitive music business, but this particular one will set you on the right direction and improve your odds tenfold. You won't regret it.
  The TITLE SAYS IT ALL November 10, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I HAVE READ THIS BOOK FROM COVER TO COVER, BACK AND FORTH AND STILL REFER TO IT WHEN I NEED IT. I STUDIED WITH THIS BOOK THROUGH A BERKLEE MUSIC ONLINE COURSE. IF YOU ARE A SONGWRITER OR A PUBLISHER I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. BETWEEN SONGWRITING CONTRACTS, COPYRIGHTS, LAWYERS, PERFORMING RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS, THIS BOOK EXPLAINS IT ALL AND IS WELL ORGANIZED. THANKS ERIC
