Book Synopsis

• The complete resource for craftspeople who are also businesspeople

• Expert advice from a pioneer in art law

• Replaces ISBN 1-58115-016-4

Here is the definitive guide for craftspeople who want to successfully tackle the business and legal issues they face every day. Explanations of new laws, plus a discussion of new business forms such as limited liability companies, bring this indispensable volume up to date. Readers will still find DuBoff’s easy-to-understand explanations of trademarks and copyrights, contracts, consignments, taxes, liability, working at home, and getting the right compensation—everything the small-business artisan needs to save thousands of dollars in attorneys’ fees.
