"Must read!" I just started doing art festivals last year and had an ok year. I wish I would have had this book BEFORE I started! It really covers everything I wanted to know. I showed to my friend that has been doing festivals for a while and she even said it had a lot of useful information. I will be using it for reference as I keep doing festivals. Especially the sections on sales and promotion are awesome. Great tips on how to set up my booth too! Must read if you are an artist doing festivals or starting out.

"a great read" This book is terrific. It's terrific even if you are not doing festivals. I've done a few and she approaches the subject with an informed humor. A great romp through the whole process. Buy it!

"Incredible book!"
I was toying with the idea of selling some of my sculptures and went to a couple of art festivals. I asked people and searched the web everywhere for information on how to get started and several people recommended this book. I'm not really a book person but I got it anyway.

WOW! I read cover to cover in one sitting because the author is sooo entertaining. My husband and I were traveling to our first festival and I was reading outloud. We used some of the display advice, we followed the pricing suggestions and the sales techniques and we not only made a profit on our first go around but we won a booth award!!! All we did was follow the advice in this book.... More > 
Other artists couldn't believe that this was our first festival.

I cannot recommend this book enough. I have read it again since that first time and I believe this book has saved us countless hours of searching, asking and trying. We are forever indebted to this author and we found that she is readily available to answer our questions!

We are planning a successful second year for next year and believe that this life is for us, largely thanks to this book and all the information that we would have never known. < Less
