No matter what good books you buy about music you should buy this asap.

Complete intro to the industry, A must have book!!!

David Naggar give you a very straight forward break down of the music industry. IF you are an artist, manager, producer, promoter or anything that has to do with the record business you need to read this book. Even if you think you got it all covered this little handbook might open your eyes to something that you might not have encountered yet. Similar to Kashif's 'Everything you'd better know' Naggar gives a very readable explanation to a lot of issues that plague artists and managers such as royalties and ownership and control rights.If you are serious about being sucessful in the music business then I suggest you begin by reading this book, you will find that many music books sort of repeat themselves and it's almost like you are reading the same thing over and over but if you do not lose interest each book has something different that can be of a good reference.

This is an excellent "easy-to-read" resource guide

I love this book because it's 1)not boring 2)easy to read 3)and very resourceful. After reading this you know that you do have a chance in the "business" without getting ripped-off if you follow the guidelines - research and have people working for that are "for you". So If you don't want to get ripped-off you better read this book or else "Show them the money!"
