Summary: "Complete" is right!
Comment: I've been on both sides of a comic book... the buying side and the publishing side, and I can tell you for fact, that there is no where else to obtain the information in this book without working for years on staff of a major publisher.
It covers the creation process, the printing process and even distribution.
If you are a future comic book creator you're going to want to have this reference tool on your book shelf. Even if you never self publish a title, there is plenty of behind-the-scenes insight.

Summary: Great for the pro - decent for the amatuer
Comment: Tony's book is a wealth of information on comic book publishing, from hiring free-lancers, drawing up contracts, dealing with printing, and doing paperwork. I found many parts to be very helpful - especially for the detail-oriented person in me. However, for the small independent publisher in me, it was a little too much. For example, Tony writes about renting office space, hiring lawyers, and doing complicated spreadsheets. In other words, while I found this book helpful with some aspects, the book seems written more for the large scale indy publishers with plenty of money to invest, rather than the small scale bartender/writer collaborating with his artist friend, and working out of his own home - which, I think, is how most of us aspiring comic creators start out... right?

Summary: A Wealth of Resources
Comment: This book is worth getting just for the comic book resouce listings it contains.
