Informative read on publishing law. Every author needs a copy of this book on their shelves!

[Q]

I technically haven't finished this one, but I'm tired of having it on my shelf. I'll get back to it! Eventually!

This book does a good job of clearly explaining the sometimes complicated jargon or legalese of a standard book contract. I think it is a good read for anyone new to the book business.
