Praise for The Law (in Plain English) for Photographers
"Lives up to its plain English billing without dumbing down explanations of complex intellectual property, copyright, privacy, and licensing issues ... An especially good section on estate planning will help commercial and art photographers take steps to preserve the value of their work for the future." --Library Journal
