Music Publishing 101 Crash Course: Made Simple & Easy (Updated Edition)

Rating:
Summary: A little disappointing.
Review: I was searching for a book that was a 'How To' on the details of setting up a small music publishing company --- this wasn't it. The title 'Music Publishing 101' gives the impression that there is enough information for a semester (or quarter or whatever) of study. (Maybe I should have paid more attention to the subtitle 'Crash Course.') I found only the very basic information that might, at most, take a couple of weeks to digest. About 1/4 of the book (mainly toward the end) seemed like filler material. Overall, I was disappointed.

Summary: Pretty good for a novice but thats about it
Review: Mp 101 does not go into great detail about "how" to actually be successful in music publishing, but then again what worked for one person may not work for you anyway. Im a novice to music publising so i found it to be helpful as it taught me about copyrights, publisher-songwriter contracts, etc. All this book does is give you a working knowledge to further educate yourself, which i intend to do. SO if you have experience in this industry this book is not for you, but if you are clueless as i was get the book.
