RussellI have relied on these market books for years...they are up-to-date and provide all of the information that you need to approach galleries; greeting card companies; et al; with your art. In this latest addition I found two resources that I believe will turn out to be very valuable for me artistically in the months to come. Every artist who is striving to achieve more visibility; recognition; and sales should invest in this book every year.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good ResourceBy SunSeaPromosThe 2010 Artists Market is full of information for beginners; and some relevant topics for experienced illustrators and designers. When purchasing these volumes consistently year after year; the informational content gets a bit redundant; but the contacts are all updated.I was looking for business contacts as a designer; and this book has some. Although in terms of contacts it seems to concentrate more on sources for illustrators than designers. Years ago this book used to be two -- one for illustrators and one for designers; it would be nice if it were that way again so as to offer more contacts for each field.But for the exceptionally discounted price I got it here for new at ; it was well worth it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Highly Recommend thisBy RosepassionsThis book was a really great jump start to my mothers career in getting her art out there. It gave a lot of insight and advice. If you are an artist who is trying to get out there; then this book is extremely helpful. I gave it 4 stars because many of the galleries listed in the book were either closed or somehow out dated. Aside from there; there were a lot of helpful links and tips to gain information about the art business. If it wasnt for this book; it would have taken a lot longer to understand the art business.
