Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm not an expert by any stretch. But I've read almost every book on this subject. So I have a pretty good frame of reference.
This book is somewhat promotional for the services of the authors. Subtle but there are references scattered throughout the book that they can help you. So some of the advice is skewed toward that aim I believe. And I don't agree with all the advice. It definitely seems to be for someone going the traditional bookstore route. Common sense info on cover design and editing importance. I belive it's a bit light on content. Only 150 pages if you leave out the resources section.
And I don't think all the advice is good. They downplay POD. They make it sound like it's impossible to produce a decent looking POD book. I still think the best option for the small self-publisher/author I've found is going through lighting source. That way you maintain control and profit. They don't really talk about it. Ithink there is one sentence about it.
At one point they mention that you should price your book according to what's inside. Well, the people looking to buy it can't read it first, so you had better price it according to what your market is willing to pay for books in that category.
It seem's to really miss the boat with fulfillig on the "survive and thrive in TODAY'S literary jungle." This one's going back.
