Creative Business Owners’ Bookshelf

This page contains exclusively affiliate links. I use them because the small commission I make allows me to keep creating intuitive, practical legal (and biz) resources. Plus it never changes the price you pay. I own each of these books (or checked-out a library copy) and am including them because I think they might help you.
