Yes – and it has just been updated! This is the first year I have invested in this resource and Ira tells me my copy shipped on Tuesday – can’t wait to sink my teeth in it!
Since I have been asked about online or print resources a few times I thought I’d share the email below (with permission) about the 2010 Edition of the Licensing Letter Sourcebook. I talked to Ira (the publisher) about it for a bit when I met him at the Licensing Expo back in June. I believe he told me this was one of the biggest overhauls ever because of all the changes in people, companies, etc. (dare I say – because of the economy!)
My favorite part of this investment is the guarantee – it’s in the email but I want to make sure you see it so here it is in bold:
Remember, The Sourcebook comes with EPM’s unique 100% money-back guarantee — If there’s a U.S. licensing company you want to reach that isn’t in The Sourcebook, we’ll find it for you – or refund every penny you paid — so you’ve got nothing to lose. Order NOW!
I’m excited to pay to hit the ground running and will let you know how it goes when I have this in my hot little hands for a while. For now… here is the information and links so you can decide for yourself… (if you decide to get it, be sure to tell Ira I sent you!)

Here’s to your creative success!

Looks good. I’ll be looking forward to your comments about it. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Tara! This looks like a wonderful resource.
In the past, I’ve purchased this book several times (2003, 2006, 2008) and I USED to think it was a valuable resource for art licensing. The 2008 edition may have been good for other licensing categories but NOT art. There weren’t nearly as many manufacturers listed that license art as in previous years. And the companies that were listed in previous editions were no longer listed but still do license art. The 2009 edition is even smaller (lesser pages) than the 2008 edition so I opted not to purchase it.
Oh great! I just got mine from the mailbox so it is on the ‘to check out’ list for this week. I’m going to open it with an attitude that it will be very helpful … I’ll let you know!
Are there any art licensing sources that don’t cost an arm and a leg??
Sue –
You don’t have to buy a list. I never have before and know many other successful licensed artists who haven’t. It’s just an option. You can always do the research yourself or there is a lot of info in my eBook “How to Find, Interact and Work with Manufacturers Who License Art”.
Wishing you much success! Tara
At least you can return it, if it’s not that good!
