JOHN SHAW'S BUSINESS OF NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY: A Professional's Guide to Marketing and Managing a Successful Nature Photography Business, by John Shaw, Amphoto, 1996, ISBN 0-8174-4050-X, hardcover, $35, 144 pages. Though loaded with samples of his stunning photos, Shaw devotes every inch of text to selling, not shooting. He covers such nitty-gritty issues as what editors want, specializing vs. generalizing, captioning and organizing, choosing which images to submit, finding and contacting clients, pricing and payment, model releases, taxes, and more. Despite the title, this book provides detailed information for running any type of stock photography business, not just nature. -David Arnold & Gail Rutman
