“Accolades for writing the most charming book on copyright certainly belong to Mary E. Carter, a graphic designer who should
also receive a bravery award for tackling the subject of copyright without a law degree…Not only does Mary Carter navigate
the legal issues with dexterity, she also shows an insider’s understanding of the audience for whom the book is intended…art
directors, reps and graphic designers…In fact, she comes out on the right side of all the copying question.” —Tad Crawford,
