Very well organized and comprehensive. DVD provided makes printing a breeze.

Tad Crawford has written a whole series of books out of his expertise in the law and creative arts, with a special focus on photography. I'd suggest looking at Tad's other books, too, since this one is more action-focused without extensive explanations of the whys and wherefores of it.

"Business and Legal Forms" has the documents you'll need, such as copyright transer forms, publishing contracts and stock listing forms for your creative work. His descriptions are very helpful. Of greatest practical use, though, is the included DVD containing MS Word documents of all of the forms.

If you're just getting started in fine arts, or even if you have been working a while, you need this book!

Extremely useful and informative book. This is the second edition I've bought - 1st edition was 18 years ago & out-dated.

Ever since I purchased this book for the studio, I've been sharing it with other artists looking for an easy way to do what would otherwise be overwhelming...contracts, agreements, etc. Very, very helpful! And, the CD included makes tweaking the contracts with logos, etc, is very easy (you have to just save it first to your computer).

This latest edition by Tad Crawford should be required in every Artists reference library. The forms are valuable and the suggestions that accompany each form can easily save a lot of grief by reminding the Artist of what is important to be aware of.

By using this resource, an artist can protect themselves and their financial condition through legal means. Most artist just want to do the art and by using this resource, forms that apply to specific events to promote that art give the artist tools to protect themselves. Very good resource - have already put it to use.

I love this book, and use it frequently. It's very comprehensive, and has lots of basic forms to cover a multitude of artist's needs. Not a replacement for legal advice, but very handy for day-to-day stuff.
