Uplifting and Honest Book on Making a Living in Crafts....5
This is the best of the artist books on how they and others have made it in the art world - successfully! It is inspirational and yet honest. Testimonies by other artists add interest, especially since they work in varied media. Tips on how to make it and yet develop a thick-skin for particular situations added to the usefulness in motivating any artist. The quality of the book is impressive, from the type of paper, images, and resources, making it a reference that I can use for many years to come.

Excellent, very helpful and an easy read. It answered a lot of questions I had and taught me thinks I hadn't thought of.

Excellent5
This book is excellent for tips and ideas on how to get started on a home crafting business. My favorite part about the book is that it tells you what you need to do to get licensed, what steps to take to get there, and how to submit the information. I would highly recommend this book to anyone just thinking of selling thier homemade treasures.
