I loved the way the author assumed no prior knowledge of this business. I've been an artist manager and booking agent, but I got a lot out of this book. I urge any young band or solo artist to get this book and follow the author's advice. Reasonable price, meat 'n' potatoes information, and no fluff -- ...             The Artist's Guide to Christian Music - A Complete, Practical Guide to Developing and Presenting Your Music ...
