Twenty-two entertainment lawyers share their expertise in legal matters affecting musicians using precise, colloquial language that every guitar player should understand. It's an A to Z treatment outlining topics such as preparing for group breakups before you sign the record deal (and hire an attorney), copyright laws, a legal overview of sampling, songwriter agreements, music publishing and licensing, club contracts, and the record label "package." The volume's presentation is stylish and organized for quick reference. This second expanded edition was published in 1986 under the title The Musician's Manual .
