I had to wait and wait for this book to come. I contacted seller twice but received no response as to when it would be shipped. I doubt that I'll buy from this seller again.
 A must have for the children's illustrator/writer! December 22, 2009

Besides the excellent listings in the back for publishing houses, agents, contests and websites, this book is full of great articles and interviews. A must have for any writer and/or illustrator of Children's books. Very helpful and informative.

Extremely well laid out, this iconic book is valuable to get a birds-eye view about the Children's Book market and personal remarks from some of its known publishers and agents. (I really enjoyed these "Q&A" interviews with editors, author suggestions and other 'side-bars'.) Still, this book is what I would call a 'scaffolding tool'. I mean, you have to read this book with an attentive spirit, take a lot of the information seriously, but then RESEARCH more. AND do not take all items stated as 'Bible'. As a reference book, it's already aging!
For example, there is a superb section "Book Publishers". Most publishers are listed. With each listing is the address & webpage, acquisition team info' (editors, etc.), the type of books they publish, how to contact them and other information. However, a writer intended to be published, must go to each website, cross reference and update the information you find.
I bought this book in 8/2009 (mind you this IS a 2010 reference) and in my own efforts, looking at each publisher's web site, I found enough info' in the "Book Publishers" section to be 'incorrect'. Of course this makes sense...the book was likely written and finalized at the beginning of this year!
Keep in mind, the market is fluid, editors change jobs, companies are tightening their acquisition preferences and some have very, very clear specifics relative to how and what to submit and most importantly, even if you should submit a manuscript(Seriously, some even tell you their preferred envelope type. FOLLOW their directions to a 't').
Do you homework! Good luck!
Very helpful! October 19, 2009

The 2010 edition of the Children's writer's & Illustrator's Market is very helpful and useful. I also have the 2009 edition - and this one does have new publishers, agents, etc. I would be lost without it!
