    Brainard is a great name for the genius who wrote this book. Chock full of useful tips to help the artist acquire the marketing skills necessary for success. He includes a workbook session after each chapter so you get the most out of the knowledge he imparts by actually taking the steps he tells you to do. This book is a must have for anyone who is serious about their art.

    This is a great book. I recommend it to anyone who creates art

    This is a great book. I recommend it to anyone who creates art and would like to start selling it. The best part about this book is that Mr. Carey gives advice that is usable and gets results. What makes this book different from the many books that I have read about selling art is that it is concise and to the point. The information in this book is adaptable to any artist at any stage of their career. I know I will keep this book as a reference for years to come!
