Customer Reviews: Review #1: Excellent Book 2007-07-15 I have to rate this publication highly because it really explains in simple clear language the whole business of music publishing. I have to acknowledge the fact that it assisted me in landing a deal with an independent film company in Germany. I would say buy this book you will make back the cost believe me. It is my second bible. Review #2: Priceless 2006-10-07 The invaluable information in this book is a must for everyone in the music industry. Publishing is how the monies from musical works are generated, handled, and distributed. This book goes beyond the pay one is stipulated to receive and explains the origins and derivations of such stipulations. Mr. Whitsett has amassed IMPORTANT information here... good for him... great for us. Review #3: A Great piece of work 2006-07-04 I highly recommend this book to gain greater insights in the Music business or any business. donald does it again. this is one of the only legal books on the Music industry I would recommend. It was a great buy along with a couple of manuals I purchased from Musicbrains.net entitled the Indie label Kit. Review #4: Music Publishing 2005-09-24 Normally, these type of books are very boring. But this one isn't. It's easy-friendly reading. Recommended! Review #5: Excellent, looks expensive but worth the money. 2003-04-18 "Music Publishing" by Tim Whitsett is a value tool to understanding, filing, and starting up any goals in the music industry. The biography of the author is amazing and what he shares through his years of being as music publisher is invaluble. At first look I was skeptical and assumed that my many other books would cover the information in here. I was wrong, this book is detail in, not only, what music publishing is, but how to publish music. The slant of the author is clear when he states that he can never understand why an artist would not publish his/her own music. Another good book about publishing is "Music Publishing: A songwriter's Guide," (it is cheaper than this book) which the author has just as much creditals as Tim Whitsett, but Whitsett goes into more depth making this book a more value tool.
