Customer Reviews

One of the best how-to books I have read

This is an excellent resource for anyone thinking of self-publishing a book, with good practical and technical advice. The chapter on choosing a printer is particularly good, as this is an area where it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the details and specifications. Even though we decided to go with a Print-on-Demand option, it is good to know these details, and it also gives a basis for comparing the various POD companies. The section on promotion and marketing is also very good. The book also has several checklists and sample documents that have been very helpful to me in publishing my own forthcoming book, and I ordered a copy for a colleague, who has also benefited from it. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent self publishing book

If you are serious about entering the self publishing field, then this is the right book for you. It is very complete, well written and obviously the authors have actual experience int he field.I have bought other books about self publishing by supposedly experienced self publishers and was wholley dissappointed. One clue should have been that those books are not available in book stores or libraries. This one is. Never buy sight and unseen and good luck trying to get a refund with those other books!

Excellent - Great Book!

I accidently came across this book at our local Barnes & Noble. The cover really caught my attention and as I leafed through the book I just knew that I had to own it.Having been dissappointed with other similiar books, it was refreshing to buy a book written by three authors who really have mastered their craft.If you want to get into self publishing, this is the right book for you. You won't be dissappointed.
