SAM's Main Book List

This list has been compiled for arts managers, arts and cultural development officers, arts workers, self-managed artists and students of arts management.

Books have been selected on the basis of their usefulness and relevance to the size, style and ethos of arts organisations. They have all been 'road tested' and come recommended.

The list is organised under alphabetical headings (see left-hand margin), and gives full title, author, publisher and price details and a summary of contents / short review, written by an arts manager.

Books are available from SAM or by clicking through to Amazon or a specialist distributor. You can order by email or phone, See order form. Postage and packing is charged at £2 plus the cost of stamps. The p&p inclusive price is given on some entries in the Booklist (this applies for single book purchases). See home page for more information about the major changes taking place to how SAM's Books operates.

Specialist collections - called Bookshelves - are also available, and SAM can customize a list for an event or conference.

Review after a description means that a fuller description and personal view of the book is given in a review that appeared in Arts Professional magazine.
