Great for new librarians!

This is a great introduction to publishing for those of us new to the library profession. Rachel provides a huge amount of useful information about the publishing process, as well as links to great web resources and citations to other works that are invaluable. It's also incredibly readable. I finished mine in a couple of days! If you are a librarian that has not yet published, this is the book for you!
