2008-04-24 Excellent Book!!

I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in selling their pictures. It contains loads of common sense tips and it's a fun read. It is written in a much less stuffy style than some photo books I have read before. The illustrations the author uses relate well to the text and really helped me to make sense of it all. I now feel much better equipped to sell my pictures through stock libraries. Top marks!
