3.0 out of 5 stars A too general overview for the basics of law for small business, February 24, 2008

By	Nicoletta Carlone "Nicoletta Carlone" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Law (In Plain English) for Small Business (Sphinx Legal) (Paperback)

I have a small internet business and found a couple of chapters in this book to be helpful, but found many parts of it to be too general. The author genuinely offers some good advice, the problem is, that is just too little. There are so many types of businesses out there, and I feel like this is just the bare bones of what it could be. To me, it would be better if this book was 2 times longer. For a skim over of basic business law, I would give this a go, but for a more in depth picture of what you need to know, I would go to something that has a little more info.

By A Customer

This book covers the basics of the legal and business aspects of being a photographer. Duboff wastes no words. The book is thoughtful, concise, well organized and easy to read. The court cases he cites are interesting and thought provoking as well as useful information. This book is an invaluable reference for setting up a professional photography business.
