Customer Reviews

Used this as a reference for several years now
There aren't many books out there for licensing art, or licensing, period. This is one of three books I use as a reference when negotiating licensing agreements for the artists I represent. It's very basic, yes, but helpful. I would like to see a follow up to this book for advanced licensors!

Still a good introduction to Licensing
While this book was written in 1995, it still does a very good job of introducing the artist to the world of licensing, and is worth the purchase price. Pair it with Michael Woodward's book "Licensing Art 101", for a more complete picture of the industry.

good info, boring read
This book has some very basic information about licensing, but it was difficult to understand and still didn't give much insight on the topic.
