A great course book. Clear, exhaustive, a nice reading, full of tips and very helpful tools. So far the only sensible guide to project management in the music industry that I've found (and no hope of finding any in Italian). I'll certainly use it in my courses.

Very informative book, useful from an artist's perspective for self-releasing and managing, as well as giving an insight as to how the industry operates and the nitty-gritty you will have to deal with.
