It is written for the lay musician/songwriter but contains enough substance to be worthwhile for those already holding positions within the business. Includes a foreword by Tom Petty. Topics covered include everything from mechanical, performing, and synch rights to sub-publishing, foreign rights, copyright basics, types of publishing deals, advice on representation, and more.
