I'll confess to having finished only 1/5 of the book. If the rest are blank pages it's still worth the ~$25 I paid for it. The most important lesson is the idea of photography as a sustainable _business_. From his early tales John Harrington clearly had to sink or swim and learned the hard way; he offers the reader who wishes to make a business of photography the mindset that will allow success. Including suggestions to help other photographer friends succeed and not undermine the profession.
Must Have and Read if you are in business or want to be November 2, 2009

This book is very well written and is a must for those in business already and wanting to perhaps improve or for those wanting to get into the business. I am still mid reading the book (it's over 500 pages) but everything I have read so far has either reaffirmed my knowledge in the area or has given me new tools and resources for being successful. I recommend while reading it and to begin implementing these concepts into your business and observe the wonderful effects.

John Harrington's revised edition of his Best Business Practices for Photographers goes beyond a few timely updates. Using his own business experiences John has adjusted his business practices to the changing photography industry. Addressing topics such as "Pricing your work to stay in business", the first hand - "Insights into am IRS audit", and the timely "transitioning to Freelance", for the newspaper staffers entering the self-employed business world. This book delivers the business information many of us have learned at the "school of hard knocks" and most photo schools don't even offer, but with this book readers can learn how to build a successful career."

"Best Business Practices for Photographers" by John Harrington is not exactly a catchy title, but if you are starting as a professional shooter, or have been in the biz like me for over four decades, you better put down your camera and buy this book. I predict it will make your business better and more productive. When it does, drop me a line at: [...] and give me one example of how it changed your life.
