Product Description
From Library Journal
"With all the emphasis on business and professionalism, the inescapable fact is that crafts is foremost a culture, a life-style, and a legacy," says Gerhards. In this book, however, he focuses more on the business of crafts--how to sell them at crafts fairs, galleries, and trade shows. Over half the book is devoted to the ins and outs of trade shows; as these shows are a very lucrative and often ignored vehicle for marketing and selling crafts, this book is an invaluable source for all artisans. The last section covers the basic paperwork aspects of a small business as well, and four appendixes cover trade show promoters; a calendar of trade shows; publications; and organizations. A succinct, bargain-priced volume.

Don't let the title mislead you, Dec 20 2002
By M. King - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Sell What You Make: The Business of Marketing Crafts (Paperback)
The title of this book suggests that it is directed towards the crafter just starting out, but the wholesale trade shows it focuses on are out of reach for me. I recommend it for anyone interested in mass production for wholesale buyers, but if beginning crafteres are anything like me, shows like this are completely out of reach at this point. I was hoping for a book that would help with the issues I'm dealing with on a day to day baisis - like trying to start my business from scratch with no capital except from pieces I sell here and there; most of which must go into supplies for the next piece I'll sell, business cards, a good camera . . . etc. It's a bit outdated as well, and someone should inform the author that some of us do in fact remember macrame. (like the millions of hemp artists out there)
