I have relied on these market books for years...they are up-to-date and provide all of the information that you need to approach galleries, greeting card companies, et al, with your art. In this latest addition I found two resources that I believe will turn out to be very valuable for me artistically in the months to come. Every artist who is striving to achieve more visibility, recognition, and sales should invest in this book every year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artist's Graphic Review, January 30, 2010

There is A LOT of information packed in these books. If you are serious in your craft, the information in this book is handy but you will have to sift through what you can or can't use to your business. My recommendation is buy a year or two back or used condition; see how much you actually use the book. Most of the entries require work in themselves - and require money or your portfolio should be completed first.

Well Organized, with good advice articles added from professionals in the field. Information is divided by type of market, and the descriptions give contact information and the type of artwork they are looking for. Very helpful.
