I wish I could have read this book when I started in the print business. It would have saved me time, money and frustration in learning how to sell my art.

I want to let you know how valuable your book and consultation have been for us. Your knowledge, insights and suggestions were so helpful in guiding us to make some difficult decisions. These two photos of my copy of your book are a visual that says it all. I started to read the book and mark the pages with important information. Well, you can see how many pages I thought were important!!

With the new poster venture in my life, I decided to read everything I had -- or could find on art licensing...All said, one of the three I've been reading has been yours. I've said it before: it's the single best 'business' book ever written for artists.
What's so cool, when initially purchased, I was in a different place as an artist --- and it had value to me. Now that I've added a new art product --- from totally different sales angle --- to my potential income stream, your book still has great value! It's been a treasure trove of knowledge, ideas and new perspective.

Barney Davey’s book, How to Profit in the Art Print Market, is an essential reference and guide to the Print World for the visual artist. It is an invaluable teaching tool for making the studio artist very aware of the necessity of career self-investment of money and time.
Davey generously shares his years of experience in the commercial fine art print business to help newcomers who wish to sell art prints and successfully maneuver the field. Davey’s down-to-earth-facts about self-publishing are clearly outlined and inform the artist about costs and procedures. I highly recommend this book to all artists, even if they do not intend to go into print. The book is about the BUSINESS of art.

Barney delivers comprehensive knowledge and insight about every aspect of what publishing your art really entails. This book is invaluable for artists who need accurate advice in understanding the answer to "How to sell my art?" Equally important, he gives artists a much-needed, matter-of-fact reality check on putting their dreams and potential careers in a business perspective.
His knowledge of the business's inner workings will accelerate the careers of those who do have what it takes. Barney’s wisdom has already had a major positive impact on my art career. Kudos to a sorely needed voice.
