Concise information, well stated

I'm currently working on two ideas for non-fiction books. One is about current use (and mis-use) of English, the other a book of quotations. I found this book to be very helpful. I liked that it put things in as concise a manner as possible, getting directly to the point. I'd recommend it to anyone who's into publishing, self-publishing or marketing of a book. By reading this first, you'll probably save yourself from making mistakes and wasting money on wrong turns. So, I'd say to check it out before proceeding further with your book idea.
