What You Need To KnowBy James E.Having been on the road for most of the past 25 years; I can truly say Ive lived the world that Toni Micocci writes about and the truth is hes 101% on target. If your involved in the entertainment industry as a performer; agent; presenter; producer or artist; this book is a "must read" for you. Beyond defining the terms of the industry which is always helpful; Tony goes on to discuss philosophy and perspectives which go to the core of human relationships. Joseph Campbell talks about following your bliss. Well Tony does and the world is better off for it. Absolutely core reading material for arts administration students!!Booking Performance Tours: Marketing and Acquiring Live Arts and EntertainmentThe Hero with a Thousand Faces (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy P Marshallwealth of info!!!!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. DecentBy Steven RaderThis book is written more from a entertainers view than a business person. While not bad; it doesnt go very in depth on any one topic. It is a general overview with a few tips to be picked up throughout the chapters. Worth a look either way.
