Could use a bit of editing and I find the chapter layout a bit confusing but a solid book overall.

Extremely informative resource about all the many facets of music supervision, including the licensing process. I highly enjoyed the interviews from supervisors and various entrepreneurs in the industry. Very inspiring and I will keep referring to this book as I follow the path of music supervision myself for sure!
