I am here lying on the beach, sipping a gin and tonic and reading the brutally honest guide.
What else do I need?

I will be brutally honest with you. This is just another PR article. The 2 links mentioned in the article are not even getting any views. Why should I give 10 for this?
Brasilnut:
Anybody seen the latest edition of Amateur Photographer UK? :D

I just got started in stock photography 2.5 months ago. At my onset, I had never wanted to take photographs or do anything artistic. My entire goal was to learn a new hobby, enjoy it, and learn to make money taking pictures. I am a PhD in engineering and very analytical, so I know the value of a good reference book. I was looking for both references to improve my workflow, general approach to the industry, and resources to learn about taking better photos. I read your entire book, enjoyed it very much, and have found the advice to be helpful in many ways as a newbie. In particular, I found much of the advice helpful in altering/refining my approach to the industry and other references more helpful for technical aspects of taking pictures. Having never taking a picture to sell, I have already broke even on the cost of your book. In summary, I know writing books sucks, but they can be wonderful resources for others new to an area and I appreciated your book as a newbie.
