Of course; the book steers wildly off course in some spots; particularly where the author rambles nonsensically about Communism; his distaste for non-representational art; and Jesus; and this may annoy some readers. I didnt particularly care about that because some of the information contained is practical and straightforward. I can skip the parts where the author sounds like he has a few coins short of a piggy bank and glean the good stuff regardless; and so can you.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Finally some straight talk and clear direction.By George RocheThis is not the first book I have bought on the subject of art as a career; I have read several. I have also attended several seminars; and talks at expose; museums; career days at art school and art societies that I belong to. I had in fact ldquo;given uprdquo;. When people would ask my about selling my art I would respond; ldquo;No; Irsquo;m not into that. Itrsquo;s for sales at shows I enter but hardly anyone ever sells anything at the shows. Irsquo;m just painting for my own enjoyment.rdquo;Well no more. I am inspired to do what this book says and not do what it says not to. I have a clear vision forward. And a plan to proceed by. Reading this book you are instructed quite specifically what to do and how to do it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding Book!By G.J.
