- Indispensable if your working in the UK music industry
Every representative in the Music industry has a body they can turn to for advice such as the MU or PRS etc. The body set up for managers is called the Music Manager's Forum (MMF formerly the IMF). This is the handbook they have put together for managers in professional artist management. The book is not for those who want a general overview of the workings of the business.

- Not that much use for newcomers
You know how when computer geniuses try to teach novices the basics of computers, they can't help but come out with stuff that's irrelevant and barely intelligible from your own know-nothing point of view - but is undoubtedly fine from theirs.

- An excellent resource - If you are a musician/manager BUY IT
I have thought about being a manager for ages and this book is clear,concise and perfect for anyone who wants an understanding of this most volatile of businesses(!) It really is worth it for fledging managers as well as those artists who want to know more about what the manager should know (plus there is a list of UK and international managers AND contact details at the back). One of the major plus points is that it is written by specialists in their chosen field which means you are getting solid practical advice from those that actually know.

- An indispensible guide to band and artist management
All you need to know about management in popular music.Its very thorough and answered almost every question you could raise about this complex business. The main Author Andrew Thompson is well respected in music business law and the chapters by working managers are a relevation.Every University and college with music management courses should consider this as necessary reading. The index of worldwide managers is very useful
