Book Reviews of The Writer's Legal Guide: An Authors Guild Desk Reference

Book Review: Necessary Info... But Rather Dry
Summary: 3 Stars

Maybe it's all the legal jargon, but this book's a little tough to plow through... okay, fine, it's boring to read, for me anyway.

The info in it is important to know. I wish it was presented in a much more accessible way though.
