If you are picking up this book for the first time, you might not know quite how to start using it. Your first impulse might be to flip through and quickly make a mailing list, submitting to everyone with hopes that someone might like your work. Resist that urge.
First you have to narrow down the names in this book to those who need your particular art style. That's what this book is all about. They provide the names and addresses of art buyers along with plenty of marketing tips. You provide the hard work, creativity and patience necessary to hang in there until work starts coming your way!

What you'll find in this book
The book is divided into five parts:

1. Business articles and interviews


2. Section introductions


3. Listings of companies and galleries


4. Insider reports


5. Indexes

If only there was a way to hook a usb chord straight from your head to the Toonmatic-1000 and have it print out all your cartoons, maybe one day. But in the mean time, the old fashioned way is gonna have to do for now!
