1: Concise reference book with loads of sample forms and contracts
This is an excellence reference work, and it is chock full of sample contracts and release forms. Miller, an attorney himself, repeatedly states that the forms are a starting point and that the reader should obtain legal counsel. Each state has different laws, and Miller explains that different situations and different clients warrant professional review of forms and contracts.
I particularly liked the online reader. I needed the information immediately, and the online reader for only about $8 more, provided it. The reader lets you highlight and bookmark sections, and it worked quite well.
If you are a media producer and don't know about Focal Press, the publisher, check them out. They have been publishing books about media production for decades that are concise and informative.

2: A solid resource with which to educate oneself
Knowledgeably written by Philip H. Miller (an expert practicing attorney specializing in media law), and now in its fourth edition featuring new and expanded sections on option agreements, the use of copyrighted materials, developments in Internet law, as well as interactive productions, Media Law For Producers is a straightforward, 399-page guide to legal issues relevant to media projects for theatrical, television, radio, print, or electronic projects from production contracts, to copyright registration for finished programs, and more. Specifically written to be accessible to the non-specialist general reader, and to be as a solid resource with which to educate oneself before consulting with a media attorney who would charge by the hour for his expertise, Media Law For Producers is a "must-have" resource for anyone seriously involved in producing a media project regardless of the subject matter or format.
