An excuse

Sorry folks, I bought this book as a present for a man in Trinidad. He seems happy with it, but I looked at it only to see if it was the kind of thing he wanted.

I tried to buy the 2007 version of Songwriter's Market, but
was told it couldn't be delivered to a WI or Danish address. However, I'm not sure if this was on Amazon,

This book is OK ....

It's certainly about music publishing and being a music publisher. Lots of technical information which I didn't know already but perhaps much technical detail. Then again, maybe I should have bought a different book. I don't intend to be a music publisher. I'm a musician and would prefer to avoid this side of the business unless it's essential for me to get into it. I like making and playing music more than I like listening to that of others. Although I read the entire book I didn't enjoy it too much and I don't know how much of it I actually absorbed.

Solid overview of the publishing business

I have read several books on music publishing, and this is one of the best and most recent ones. What I particularly like about this book is that it is short, concise and easy to read. There's not a whole lot of legalese in here, just enough that is necessary for each topic. It's in plain english, so it's fairly easy to understand. It's also modern to the extent it addresses digital issues. Overall, a good buy.

EXCELLENT BOOK

I have to totally disagree with the guy who gave the one star review on this book. I have read several books now on songwriting and this is my favorite. I am right now reading Passman's book and it does seem to be very detailed, but this book was far from boring. I know it was not the authors intent, but it has really inspired me towards becoming my own publisher.
