Review Quotes: "The Oxford Handbook of Creative Industries is a comprehensive compendium of up-to-date scholarly works on the formation, dynamics, and outcomes of creative industries. Two distinctive strengths of this handbook are the breadth of topics covered and the diversity of disciplinary perspectives brought to bear to examine such topics. In fact, the volume is appealing because its sum is greater than its parts: not only do the editors connect the various contributions through their theoretical framework in the introduction, but several chapters engage with and refer to each other in the volume. The other chapters of the handbook reflect a deep understanding of the specific theoretical and practical issues summarized above and provide rich descriptions and analyses of the different case studies and creative industries examined."
