2008 Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market

This book has everything an artist (or graphic designer) could possibly want and need to know in order to make a successful approach to 'making it' in the arts world. It is motivational in a practical way... Just really interesting and helpful!

I'm very excited about the sources his book offers. The author did a great job explaining how the book works so that someone who was new to the book (like me) could use it easily. I'm excited to see if I can make extra money using it!

This book is a MUST read for anyone looking to earn money from their art. The information provided is invaluable and they answered questions I did not even know to ask! Will DEFINATELY purchase every year.

well, you get what you pay for. It's a good resource for someone starting out who isn't ready to dish out hundreds of dollars for a mailing list. But half the listings are obsolete, or old adresses, old art directors.

Also it hasn't really kept up with the times... most illustrators these days aren't looking to design flower patterns for dixie cups. 3/4 of that book is irrelevant to me. Of course it's probably targeted at part time crafters, flower pattern designers, and the mid life crisis "Im going to write and illustrate a children's book" rather than professional illustrators.

If somebody published a seriously updated & comprehensive illustrator's market book I would pay a lot more than $20 for it though.

This book is quickly becoming a source of information that I frequent. It is much easier to quickly find information in a combined source than weeding through thousands of websites and "googled" information to find the contact information that is relevant for my endeavors.
