                      Book Description

                      Are You Ready To Advance Your Music Career? Then Put It In Writing!

                      Forget hiring an entertainment lawyer, use this set of industry standard, professional contracts and save big time. Sure our set may cost a little more then the others, BUT you get what you pay for QUALITY!

                      This set of contracts comes in two easy to use and understand formats, in a preprinted binder and on CD-ROM (pc/mac compatible) - You receive both the binder and CD in this set, with both containing all 101 contracts. We supply you with the contracts in both a pre-printed binder, and on CD.

                      The binder set comes preprinted, which allows you to take each contract out and use it as is, or make copies of it if you need to.

                      The CD contracts program, which can be installed on all computers, including PCs and Macs allows you to open up the contracts on your computer in any text editor such as Microsoft Word, Note Pad, Word pad, or any other text editor, which comes installed on all computers. The great thing about installing the CD contracts program onto your computer is that it also allows you to edit any of the contracts, meaning that you can delete specifics that may not apply to your particular situation. With the contracts software program, you can even add things to each contract if needed and then print whichever contract(s) you need directly from your computer, whether it be one or fifty copies. The things that you can do with this program is unlimited, plus remember at this economical price you will receive all 101 of the contracts in both a preprinted binder and on CD-ROM that you can use to edit and print as many contracts as you need..

                      For a list of all one hundred and one contracts that are included see below

                      Think about it, even if you use just one of the contracts that are included in this set, you would still be saving money versus if you hired an entertainment lawyer to draw up that same contract at $200.00 per hour, at say 2-3 hours worth of his time! Plus every single contract included in this set has been drawn up by a very knowledgeable, entertainment attorney and is guaranteed to hold up in court in all 50 states if ever needed.

                      With our set you pay a small price for over 100 different contracts, an entertainment lawyer would charge you hundreds just to draw up a few contracts.

                      If you're like most musicians, you have a background in creating music, but not in the business side of it. If that's the case, ordering this set of 101 Music Business Contracts is your first step to a secure entertainment career.

                      Our set of contracts has something for everyone in the music industry from musicians to singers to writers to label owners to producers, here is a list of all of the contracts that you will receive; Agreement of Distribution

                      5 out of 5 stars PROTECTING OUR INTELLECTUAL/PERFORMING RIGHTS.......2006-11-02

                      I HAVE USED "101 MUSIC BUSINESS CONTRACTS" TO SIGN MY DAUGHTER AMANDA SHELBY TO AN ALBUM PRODUCTION DEAL WITH A VERY SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION TEAM IN SWEDEN, A BOOKING DEAL HERE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA AND A MANAGEMENT DEAL IN LOS ANGELES. I'VE SAVED THE COST OF THE BOOK IN LEGAL FEES ONE HUNDRED TIMES OVER. NO ONE CHALLENGED THE CONTRACTS IN ANY WAY.
                      MOREOVER, IT'S MUCH FASTER TO PUT A DEAL TOGETHER WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ATTORNEY TO SCHEDULE YOU IN.

                      5 out of 5 stars Best contract software around!.......2006-07-21

                      I just bought the download version of this software and as a professional musician and artist manager I say it is a must have item.
                      Thanks,
                      JL

                      5 out of 5 stars great.......2006-07-14

                      Wow, this is the thing that I have been waiting for the "101" book sequel that would come on a CDROM. I thank the authors for this it made my work a lot more easier and the updates are spot on

                      5 out of 5 stars amazing.......2006-07-14

                      Wow, as much i can say i liked the paperback version this one just blew me way. The updates really make the book worth more that you'd predict and the availability of the CDROM format means that you can take it everywhere with you without worrying that pages might get torn

                      5 out of 5 stars great as usual.......2006-07-14

                      Great work as usual this transition from paperback to CDROM worked best for me, I do like the book but i could not take it everywhere with me so a CD with all the contracts i need is one of the best choices i could have. Content is all the same but now in a digital format, easier to search through and a fresh contract at the touch of the print button

                      Jeffrey W. Bennett, Founder of LayMentor and author of Under the Lontar Palm

                      Not many leadership books are written for lower level leaders. This book is. I have experienced different levels of leadership and only wish that I had known about The Leader years ago.

                      My company is currently teaching Leadership 101 to internal employees and reading The Leader is a pre-requisite. The Leader has exercises that map out how to lead the team, create vision, and achieve goals. Not surprisingly, it accurately identifies some of the interaction that you and your team will experience during the journey.

                      The Leader is a MUST HAVE resource within reach and not on the shelf.

                      5 out of 5 stars The Leader: Developing The Skills & Personal Qualities You N.......1999-11-30

                      As the Instructor of a course in Leadership at a major university in Philadelphia, I have found that Frigon's book to be the perfect text book for several reasons. First of all, it is an easy-reader, straight forward,not swimming with pretentious philosophical babble that could turn-off young college students. Secondly, it spells out with clarity the many important dynamics of leadership, team work, and visioning in a (step by step) process that clearly explains these concepts in practical, applicable terms. This is great for those who may be unfamiliar with the concepts of leadership and management, yet the book in no way oversimplifies these concepts for experienced executives or educators; rather it helps the experienced manager to redefine his/her pracitices of leadership by offering many hands-on techniques that will never become obselete. These principles and practices help to continually develop the skills that are needed to maintain the pole position in one's personal and professional life. Thirdly, Frigon's book is concise and precise proving that you don't need a whole lotta pages to get to the point. This is also great in terms of teaching. Students have read this book comprehensively two or three times per semester...on their own...as an on-going guide like none other. And lastly...the price is right... buy two.. give one as a gift to someone who is hungry for success...Excellent! Nothing more to say.

                      3 out of 5 stars bbq without a sauce?.......2007-07-19

                      I was pleased to find that not only is Texas BBQ represented in the first chapter, but the book also recommends the use of wood-burning, offset firebox pits. Unfortunately, the book is a let down when it comes to BBQ sauce.

                      I have two major points of contention with the lone recipe that is provided:

                      First, the authors admit that the only reason that the book even contains a BBQ sauce recipe is at the request of their New England-based publisher, and while their chastising is mildly amusing, I have to agree with the Yankee: the vast majority of Texas diners that I've met take their brisket/sausage/chicken/etc with sauce. It is disturbing that the Jamisons, while attempting to write a Texas cookbook, had to be strong-armed by a Red Sox fan into coughing up a BBQ sauce recipe.

                      Second, the recipe that is offered is a tangy, syrup-y concoction the likes of which I've never seen served with Texas BBQ. I certainly can't claim to have tasted the sauces from a majority of Texas purveyors of Q, but none of the ones that I have tried, from Austin to Houston, resemble "Ol' Red's". I expect something thinner, not a glaze, more savory with a hint of smokiness and very little tang.

                      The Jamisons need to rethink their seemingly limited view of "the perfection of cookery"'s most recognizable accompaniment.

                      5 out of 5 stars Best cookbook I own- and I own plenty!.......2007-06-12

                      Like other reviewers have said, I have never made anything out of this cookbook which wasn't utterly delicious! The difference between this and many of the other cookbooks I own is that this food is meant for people who love to eat real food- not "nouveau" dishes that often turn out as if no one had tested the recipe. My favorite recipes are "The Driskill's 1886 Room Chocolate Sheet Cake" (which is now called "Texas Sheet Cake" by my family, the PTA and my church group); the Molasses Spice Cookies; and the Big Thicket Coconut Cake.

                      Yesterday was my daughter's birthday and she opened this cookbook and requested Tamale Pie and Pineapple-Ginger Upside-Down Cake for her birthday dinner. Both were new recipes and both came out absolutely beautiful and delicious. I asked my husband what he wanted for dessert for Father's Day and he picked out the German Chocolate Cake from this cookbook, because he said that it was guaranteed to be excellent.

                      So can you tell I think you should buy it?

                      5 out of 5 stars Flat out amazing.......2007-03-30

                      I have owned this book for over 10 years now and have cooked most everything in it. I'm telling you honestly that I have yet to cook something out of here that doesn't get snacked on constantly or rave reviews from people that visit. My original copy of this fell apart from being used so much! What I wound up having to do was cut the spine off of the book and rebind it myself.

                      I'm honestly very surprised that this book doesn't have more reviews than it does. Not only are the recipes wonderful to eat, they are fun to read. The author adds fun descriptions and background information with every recipe. Reading these will actually make you want to cook them. Almost every recipe book that I've read since has been disappointing in this respect. This book raised the bar!

                      Actually there is one recipe that I haven't been able to cook very well, and that is the biscuit. I've dedicated entire days here and there to do nothing but cook batches trying to get it right, but they always come out hard and don't taste very good.

                      5 out of 5 stars Awesome recipes!!!!.......2006-09-10

                      I bought this book a few weeks ago in a Dallas mall in one of those Texas touristy shops because I was looking for a basic Texas cookbook that had a great variety of Southern and Mexican recipes including a great basic salsa and a Ranch dressing.

                      So far, I have not been disappointed ONE BIT. I have made four recipes so far...year-round salsa, green sauce, milagro meatloaf, and the mashed potatoes, and everything has turned out absolutely fantastic. The instructions are perfect and don't need any tweaking whatsoever.

                      Just as an aside, I have made mashed potatoes probably forty times, but decided to give this new method a try after reading how deliciously fluffy and rich they were supposed to be. Not only did the method work out perfectly, but they are THE best mashed potatoes I've ever had.

                      Fantastic book...definitely a must-have for anyone that adores Tex-Mex or Southern cooking!!!

                      5 out of 5 stars Used books?.......2004-11-29

                      I can't believe there are used copies available! Why would anybody sell one after seeing and using it? I wasn't born in Texas but was made an "honorary native" by friends (complete with membership card!). I received this book as a gift after moving back to the midwest and I LOVE it! I now make the best chicken-fried steak this side of the Sabine River thanks to this cookbook. It not only has great recipes, it has invaluable tips and interesting comments on Texas culinary history and culture. The recipes are not fancy (meaning not "nouveau" or "fusion"), not laden with fillers. Just good food suitable for any night of the week.

                      Some 39 of the best Texas writers get a chance to tell about themselves with essays about favorite meals, stories about growing up, and recipes that have special meaning. It's a wonderful way to showcase some of the best writers in the country -- letting us have a slice of their personal life. Entertaining stories from Kinky Friedman, Liz Carpenter, Naomi Nye, Robert and Jean Flynn, Molly Ivins and many others. And some of these folks can actually cook. The author, Deborah Douglas, writes witty, insightful essays as introductions to each of the writers' pieces. There's even a web site for the book.

                      This is a fresh look at some (most?) of Texas's most talented literary sons and daughters. Whether you're following Cindy Bonner's recipe for Bohemian Kolaches or soaking up some of Clay Reynold's Texas attitude, this book is an easy read. And Deborah Douglas's intros are insightful and funny.

                      The "canyon beans" recipe is worth the book. I have twin, 13 year old sons. They love the recipes. You may tone them down by eliminating some of the peppers. This is a very good addition to your cookbook collection. I recommend it!

                              5 out of 5 stars Bayou City at its Best.......2001-06-27

                              Growing up just outside of Houston, I understand the value of having recipies from several of Houston's first class resturants. The pictures inside are wonderful, as are the recipes. As a bonus, in the back, there is a nutrition chart for every recipe. A must have for cooks and those who love to entertain!
