Can anyone recommend a few good books that cover the crucial information needed to get a business up and running?  Seems like my work just hit the fast track to getting sold, and I really haven't thought too much about record-keeping and accounting.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Jason,

Perhaps this will point you in the direction you want.

About a third of the way down the page.

Thanks Rich.  I actually read TOP regularly, but I had forgotten about that post.  Thanks for reminding me.

Alain Briot has a Marketing DVD (http://www.beautiful-landscape.com/Learn_Marketing_DVD1.html) which I can't comment on since I don't have it - but am planning to buy later this year.

IN the UK there is a book called Beyond The Lens (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyond-Lens-Business-Professional-Photography/dp/0954337425/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1237233833&sr=8-10)

I don't have it myself, but it is a book that is often recommended. Of course it's relevance in America may not be great...
