Some great pointers but the narrator sounds like a robot

Some really great ideas and valuable advice for artists, but the voice made it difficult to connect on a personal level to the author.

Fantastic and very practical

I recommend this book if you are in the art world. As an artist and business owner myself, this book has many tangible examples and step by step realistic approaches to making it in the art world.

Great book, I will now go and purchase the physical copy.
