Get's you going

I do a lot of local promotion in the detroit area and had borrowed this book from a friend a couple months ago and it was very helpful. It gave me a lot of great ideas how to promote one of our upcoming releases which did a lot better than the previous. The book is kinda inspiring too which is really helpful to keep you up beat and rocking the city about what you're doing.

really good info for those on a budget

If you are broke (or just cheap), you will want to get your hands on this book. I used to spend a lot more money on promotion and not I am spending less and seeing more return. I love the Bob Baker stuff.

If they allowed ten stars, I'd give it ten.

I bought Bob's Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook - and in less than two months I've done more to energize the mechanisms to promote my new CD, and previous three CDs, than I've done in the past four years combined.  Bob Baker really got me going.Using this book opened up the floodgates of ideas and inspirations.  More than that - it crow-barred a self-convinced "I hate promotion" guy out of his stubborn old habits and into enthusiasm - which is no dang small feat!
