Summary: clearly the best
Comment: Just try to find a clearer, more concise book on music publishing. It's not at there. And while you're at it, pick up a copy of Sky Dog, his biography of Duane Allman. Randy Poe has vast experience in the music business, does his research and presents his topics in a crystal clear style.

Summary: This book is OK ....
Comment: It's certainly about music publishing and being a music publisher. Lots of technical information which I didn't know already but perhaps much technical detail. Then again, maybe I should have bought a different book. I don't intend to be a music publisher. I'm a musician and would prefer to avoid this side of the business unless it's essential for me to get into it. I like making and playing music more than I like listening to that of others. Although I read the entire book I didn't enjoy it too much and I don't know how much of it I actually absorbed.

Summary: Alex Matlin needs to get a life
Comment: Actually, I really like and use Mr. Poe's book (personally and as an instructor of a college level music business class). I would give it 4 to 5 stars. However, Mr. Alex Matlin posted the identical review for Mr. Poe's book entitled "Music Publishing, A Songwriter's Guide" on November 2, 2001. Granted, this may be a revised version of the earlier book, but if Mr. Matlin has not read this version (and how could he since the newer book was published in 2006) then how can he honestly review it? A rhetorical question indeed since he cannot. I would guess Mr. Matlin has a conflict with Mr. Poe and must resort to a book review to attempt to exact his revenge. If Mr. Matlin can honestly say that he read the later version of the book and has the same opinion, fine. But until then his review should be removed. By way of disclosure, I do not know Mr. Poe, or any of his relatives, publishers, friends, etc. In other words, I have no reason to defend Mr. Poe other than that I find his books (both of them, as well as Mr. Passman's book referenced by Mr. Matlin in his review) to be valuable resources.

Summary: Solid overview of the publishing business
Comment: I have read several books on music publishing, and this is one of the best and most recent ones. What I particularly like about this book is that it is short, concise and easy to read. There's not a whole lot of legalese in here, just enough that is necessary for each topic. It's in plain english, so it's fairly easy to understand. It's also modern to the extent it addresses digital issues. Overall, a good buy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK
Comment: I have to totally disagree with the guy who gave the one star review on this book. I have read several books now on songwriting and this is my favorite. I am right now reading Passman's book and it does seem to be very detailed, but this book was far from boring. I know it was not the authors intent, but it has really inspired me towards becoming my own publisher.
