Excellent resource!. Excellent Book!!! It's so hard to find books about the music business these days that are not out of date, but this book is the best one that I have read so far. It tells you about the industry from an artists' perspective and from the business perspective, while also providing a road map of how to be successful in the concert industry. I really enjoyed this book and will keep it for future reference later in my care
