Music Business Handbook and Career Guide by David Baskerville

The Eighth Edition of this book maintains the tradition of this classic text as a comprehensive guide to the music industry. There is a complete section on careers in music, including specific advice on getting started in the music business. Illustrated with tables and photographs, the guide also contains a complete appendix.

"This Eighth Edition of the familiar Baskerville opus is easily the most up-to-date version ever printedTwo new chapters add needed subjects to the past array, ′Starting Your Own Business′ and ′The Digital Age.′ The latter, discussing downloading, digital hardware, and copyright initiatives, is a welcome relief for those of us attempting to keep up. I′ve always been a fan of the text since it is the only one that is truly comrephensive in scope. Baskerville covers the waterfront. No other book even attempts to do this." -- Tim Hays
"A focus on all kinds of interactions between artist and producer, record company executive to band, makes Music Business Handbook And Career Guide one of the most comprehensive music business books on the market." -- The Bookwatch
