Summary: Publish Your Own Patterns! How to Write, Print, and Market
Review: Being rather new to the business, I found this book very informative in areas I hadn't even thought about. It was very helpful with things I should do as well as things I shouldn't have been doing.There is so much to learn in the world of marketing patterns, and very few books geared specifally for that market. I would highly recommend this book to any newcomer trying to get into the field of creating and marketing their own patterns.

Summary: Publish Your Patterns
Review: I am a new designer and have been struggling with the seemingly mountainous task of getting launched in the designing business. I have read countless books, most of which just bring more questions to mind! Enter THIS book, which is without a doubt, the single best resource on the market. In fact, pertaining specifically to pattern design, there is no other resource on the market that you need waste your money on!!!

Summary: I wish I had this book when I first started!
Review: I am just a small quilt pattern publisher that started without knowing anything about the pattern business. I wish I had this book when I first started! Nancy's book is no nonsense and answers those questions like, "Where do I begin?", "How do I get my pattern in the hands of the buyer?" and "How much do I charge for my pattern?" It is a reference that I will refer to again and again. Anyone considering publishing their own patterns needs this book!

Summary: My primary reference source!
Review: Nancy Restuccia's book is my "Bible"! It is an invaluable resource for publishing and marketing designs and patterns, and it also contains LOTS of information relevant to other small businesses. In a conversational, easy-to-read voice, she covers the design process, marketing, pricing, business and legal issues, and even offers sample language to use for disclaimers, contracts, etc. As a new pattern designer/publisher, I was alerted to a lot of issues I hadn't thought of, and was able to avoid a lot of common mistakes. I would be lost without this book, and I refer back to it more frequently than any other book I own.

Summary: Huge Help Getting Started in the Quilt Design Business
Review: Nancy Restuccia's book, with the sidebar additions of Ann Anderson and others, is incredibly helpful to the new designer. I've read it cover to cover and it answered all my questions about how to get started. I followed the pattern cover design layout instructions to a 't', and it yielded a great cover design. I've used the resource list for ordering products and information. There is no other source I have found with this kind of information. Great resource - well written and organized - easy to use the table of contents, with the added bonus of an index, to get back to the specific piece of information you need.

Summary: Everything you need to know....
Review: This book is incredible! The only bad thing about this book is that it wasn't around when I started ... If I had this book, it would've saved me hours of research and time. This book needs to be an essential item for ANYONE interested in becoming a quilt professional in any arena - not just publishing patterns!
