Reviews

This is an authoritative overview of a rapidly developing area of study and research. The book offers much to both those familiar with work on the creative industries and those for whom the concept is an entirely new object of study.
*John Storey*

There could be no better guides to the conceptual map of the creative industries than John Hartley and his colleagues, pioneers in the field. This book is a clear, comprehensive and accessible tool-kit of ideas, concepts, questions and discussions which will be invaluable to students and practitioners alike. Key Concepts in Creative Industries is set to become the corner stone of an expanding and exciting field of study.
