This dense paperback was written by two brothers who happen to be authorities and specialists in the areas of music licensing. (They also happen to be two of the coolest entertainment attorneys I have met.) Their book gives you a realistic sense of just how much money can be made through licensing, as well as educating you on the many different variables that affect amount and payment you will receive. This is a must have book for anyone who would like to get their material licensed.
