Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing & Ethical Guidelines (Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing & Ethical Guidelines)

I think the true title of this book should be "The Book No Professional Graphic Designer Should Be Without: Things Your Client Might Not Want You to Know About the Design Business". That pretty much sums up this book. Contains tons of info about copyrights, trademarking, legal issues, ethics and everything else a graphic designer, freelance or otherwise, would ever want to know about the art buying and selling business. Applies to illustrators and traditional artists just as much as graphic designers. The 'artist's business bible' in a nutshell. Created by the Graphic Artist Guild, a society established to promote fair, ethical treatment and legal protection for artists of all types.

My professor recommended that I purchase this book, boy am I glad she did. It is an amazing resource for any ethical and pricing questions you will have. I am starting a job at an advertising agency soon and this book really helped me understand and prepare for what i'm in for as far as salary and other specifics go.

The GAG Handbook is a must book to have if you are a Graphic Artist. Everything you need to know about pricing, contracts, headhunters, etc., are in this book.

great reference book for pricing your art works. it has many different categories to go by. of course, i only need one field, but good to know other ones too, just in case.

This book is very helpful to the studio artist who is just starting out with pricing work. I needed this for an Illustration class, and it's done wonders for me.
