by John Harrington
Practical, down-to-earth manual that walks through essential business tasks—pricing, contracts, client workflows, and basic marketing—aimed at photographers setting up or professionalizing a studio. Its clearest value is step-by-step operational advice and sample approaches you can adapt immediately. Limitations: tone can be dry and occasionally checklist-heavy, repeating similar administrative points; it favors pragmatic procedure over long-form storytelling or conceptual marketing strategy. Best used as a reference you return to rather than a single narrative you read straight through.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
