The book is hardcover, and has 410 pages, so this is a good sized book. The book is in very good condition, and does not look like it has been read much. However, there is one inside page that has a bent top corner. There are five pages in the book where portions of the text have been highlighted in orange marker. There is a photograph of some of these pages in the listing. Please take note of this and do not bid if it is a concern. There is no dust cover with this book, and I do not know if it came with one originally. The book looks to be extremely informative, and extremely well written. However, since the copyright date is 1996, the book could have some outdated information, although it probably still contains a lot of useful information as well. Flipping through the book, I notice this book contains a lot of specific information. The book spends a lot of time explaining contracts, and how royalties work. The book also has information about promoting your product. Checking a well known book site, this book got 5 out of 5 stars, and glowing reviews. Interestingly, out of the nine reviews, three of them are recent, so evidently this book is still being read and used. Here is some information about the book.
