1: Worth the price
No book is going to give you all the tools you need to get published but this one makes a fair stab at helping - truly helping. My one complaint is they describe freelancing as this incredibly wide-open field for anyone with a modicum of talent, and a lot of perseverance. What they fail to point out is that to really make a good living, the way this book proposes, (to freelance periodical writers) one has to prostitute oneself to write about anything and everything. If spending the rest of your life writing to a health magazines about "10 Steps to a Clearer Complexion" seems worthwhile to you, than follow their advice. Otherwise, I would recommend that you decide what you like to write about first, and then go after that market. If all you like to write about is model train building than you should realize in advance you may never make a million as freelancer.

2: Wonderful But Must be bought every year to keep up to date!!!!
The writers market changes every year so it is wise to get a new one each year. However the front part is very informative for a new writer or a writer who just needs to familiarized themselves with the world of writing again.

3: Must Have
A Writer's Market is an excellent reference guide every writer should have. Whether you're someone whose been writing for years or just beginning a writing career. It's an important writer's tool you should have sitting next to your computer along with a dictionary and "Elements of Style" for easy access. It is the yellow pages for writers.
