The tips on negotiating really remove the intimidation of talking money with a client. The price charts are helpful, but it's the advice that makes the book such a boon for me -- it is friendly, practical and usable.

Time for this book to be revised  Aug 21, 2009 By JackOfMostTrades "Jack"
There are two major things wrong with this book. The first is that it focused more on stock photography prices and not how to decide how much a photography assignment should pay or be negotiated. Second, look at the date, and look at the date of these other reviews. The digital photography revolution has changed everything, especially stock photography. There's doubts whether anyone will be able to make money from stock unless they are super-specialized, turn themselves into a stock photography factory, i.e., getting a group of photographers to photograph every conceivable office scene and product--and if you turn photography into an assembly line, you may as well do something else. Additionally, photography continues to change at light speed as photoshop wizards six years ago, around 2002, were making six figure salaries, and are now charging $10 per image because of the oversupply of trained people. If there was ever a book that needed an update, this one is it.
