Fantastic Guide for the Small Publisher

I couldn't be much happier with this book. On the plus side: The author suggests so many publishing ventures which can be handled on a small scale, or by a one-person-show. In fact, after I finish my first publishing project, I intend to try one or two other ideas from the book. This book saved me from making a huge mistake by showing me I was trying to "reach" too far with my first publication project. I understand now just how far I can successfully extend myself as a sole-proprietor in my venture - and by scaling back accordingly I've insured success. Invaluable tool. I'll never part with this book. :) (The only thing I'd update about this book is the discussion of printing industry technology)

A great publishing resource...

Gives a good overview of the challenges of small mag/newspaper etc publishing and gives alot of nuts and bolts type tips. Better to spend a little money on alot of good advice then to make the mistakes and learn the hard way. The author writes like a veteran of learning the hard way and thankfully he is sharing his knowledge.
