For years, the Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines has been the industry bible for graphic designers and illustrators. This, the 13th edition, continues the tradition with new information, listings and pricing information based on surveys of working designers. It addresses legal rights and issues such as how copyright laws affect the income and work of graphic artists. It also provides tips on how to negotiate the best deals and how and what to charge for work, and includes sample contracts. For design and illustration professionals, there is no more comprehensive and informative resource.

Very informative and useful book! I find it especially helpful for planning my pricing for projects, and what I should pay other creatives when I contract a job out. It also has a wonderful set of forms to work from, including contracts and estimate sheets. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in the creative field struggling with protocols and how to price their work!
