Spouses' textbook

A must read for anyone in a creative endeavor who wants to protect their legal rights. Author is obviously well informed on 3 areas covered. Would have been easier to handle book if in 3 parts rather than 1 large book. None the less would recommend highly for information. Author style makes for easy reading.
