While the book has some really insightful points about marketing yourself as an artist, I found certain sections to be repetitive. It’s a solid read but could’ve been trimmed down a bit. Still, it’s worth checking out for the tips on pricing your work!

Not what I expected, but useful
I thought this book would be more about art techniques rather than the business side. However, it turned out to be a useful guide on how to sell art while staying true to myself. The advice is practical, but the delivery felt a little dry at times. Still, I learned a lot!

A must-read for every artist!
This book is a fantastic resource for artists trying to navigate the selling process without compromising their values. The seventh edition is packed with practical advice and relatable stories. I’ve already started implementing some of the tips and can feel a positive shift in my approach!

Great insights, but some flaws
I had high hopes for this book, and while it provides some great insights about selling art, I did receive it with a small tear on the cover. It's minor but still disappointing. The content is valuable, especially for new artists, but the condition could’ve been better!
