This is a great book --- and I've read most on the market.

I've discovered working with musicians and composers that they may know their music history, theory and chord changes, but are really lack know-how in business and financial matters.
That's a big mistake that leads to many staying at the same mediocre career level. Knowledge is power -- and usually leads to a bigger salary!
The "right" knowledge that is. And this book points a savvy composer in the right direction.
(I think it's interesting that a musician won't hesitate to spend $$$ on a new piece of gear or a plug-in but hesitates to spend a few bucks on self-improvement in business.)

BTW, the pros featured have "real world" experience in their areas of expertise which is additionally helpful.
The biggest selling point: I've learned a lot, have applied it, and seen my business and client list grow.
It's practical, sound advice from a guy who knows what he's talking about.
If you want to take your career to the next level, 1.) buy and 2.) READ this book. Then 3.) APPLY what you've learned.
You won't be sorry. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Best of luck!

I found this book to be full of very useful information about the commercial side of the music business. It's well written and covers a wide range of important topics. It also divulges a lot of information that I have not seen anywhere else.

If you're interested in this aspect of the music biz this book is a must-have. Well done.

"Cash Tracks..." in an indepensable guide about how to get on with the business side of being creative within the music scoring world (a side which is sorely overlooked).

It presents no end of ideas, tried and tested successfully, which can imrove your music business strategy and start you making MONEY from music. Please don't be put off by the "life is great!!!" american-ness of it all, this guy-heck, this book-is a full on money making machine. Practical, down-to-earth.

Invaluable.
