Could we make a list of helpful business books for photographers?

I am looking to pick up 2 or 3 books to read front to back. Any ideas?

I will add the books recommended to a list in this post.

List.

"The Law in Plain English for Photographers"

"Business & Legal Forms for Photographers"

"ASMP Guide to Good Business Practices"

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie

"Photographers Market 2008"

There are some good ones out there & I'm sure that someone will add them, but my best advice for the area that you live & work in is to ask around to find a good accountant that understands the biz & take him/her to lunch. Ask him what you need to know, then shut up & listen. ;)

What advice would you offer a new pro photographer? (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=492951)

"ASMP Guide to Good Business Practices"

"Photographers Market 2008"

Once you locate any of these on Amazon.com, the site will recommend a number of other business-legal related texts as well. There are quite a few that are more specific to certain types of photography.

This book is a must have for anybody that's in sales. Without making the sale there is no money. I know a couple of great photographers working for other people because they can't make a sale.

I've created a list on Amazon with my favorite books on business. They're not photography specific, but success in the photography business still requires success in business. Here's the link: http://astore.amazon.com/photostoolk-20
