Patrick Slusher, a promoter in Washington, writes about the Concert & Festival Promotions Manual: "The concert book is the only one of its kind I've ever seen. It's definitely worth a heck of a lot more than what you charge for it. I was in the concert biz for 17 years and I wish I had your book when I started. Sure would have been a lot easier and more profitable." What Others Say...
