The book is outdated. It has several references to things that are clearly not done any longer. Like creating a slide show for a business. Not a computer powerpoint slideshow but the original slideshow that families used to show after a vacation. C'mon update the book. Having just criticzed the book for failing to update the text, I do think there is a lot of positives in the book that make it worth purchasing. It is not a "let's show you how" kinda book - it is more of an idea book. Very good, entreprenuerial ideas that I'm sure many overlook. One positive of it being outdated is that instead of the title being "Make $25,000 a year" it really should now be "Make $50,000 a year" simply due to the old pricing he refers to.

I had thought for years that maybe it would be fun to sell some of my photos. Last year I saw the book, purchased it, and wouldn't put it down until I finished it. There were so many simple ideas on where to find business that I decided to pursue photography as a career. Less than a year later and with a lot of hard work, I am a working professional photographer. Without Larry's book I might have never had the courage and determination to pursue this career or the know-how of where to find business. This book got me started, but was certainly not the only book I've read since then. There's a lot more to a photography business than one book can possibly cover. But with this book convincing me that money can be made in photography, I'm doing it and loving it.

This is my first read about making money with my camera. It has given me encouragement that I can make a living as a photographer without a studio and without much expensive equipment. The ideas on where to find business was extremely helpful.

Does give some helpful information, but only wish that it went more indepth with pricing.
