THE LAW (IN PLAIN ENGLISH) FOR CRAFTS (1999; $18.95), by Leonard D. DuBoff. Allworth Press, 10 E. 23 St., Suite 210, New York, NY 10010.
Some might think that this is an "inappropriate" publication for review in this magazine. However, think of the many times that students participate in school or community art fairs or local craft exhibitions. In some instances, students organize to sell the artwork: ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, prints or paintings. The Law (In Plain English) For Crafts can serve as a useful reference for any of the business transactions in which students, individuals or groups engage.

There is quite a bit to think about when selling art. In this book, Leonard D. DuBoff, an arts attorney, explains the legal and managerial elements involved in the sale of artworks. Examples of chapter headings include Forms of Organization, Contracts, Insurance, Trademarks, Copyright, and Licensing. There is also a glossary of common legal terms. This book would be a valuable resource for groups or individuals that are planning to sell artwork.--J.J.H. For information about this publication, circle No. 400 on the Reader Service Card.
