5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with relevant information cover to cover, October 3, 2007

By	Laurel Knight (Bend, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book as one of many art marketing books I have acquired. Many of the other books have limited relevant information, so I expected to be able to pick a few tidbits from this book just like most of the others. But to my surprise, this book was packed with wonderful, relevant and well versed information for todays visual artist to utilize. In fact, this book is like a bible to me....I keep it highlighted and right at my desk to reference. I also purchased one and had it sent to my son, also a painter, so he would be able to have this wealth of information himself. I highly recommend anyone that is wanting to know the in's and out's of marketing your art online, to buy this book!!!
