Summary: Your coach, your mentor, your beacon. And your secret weapon
Comment: This is a practical, simple and easy-to-follow guide to economical self-publishing built on the personal experience of Linda F. Radke. Linda is an award-winning self-publisher who has helped numerous authors publish and market their books. In the book Linda tips the self-publisher in his or here way through the thorns of the publishing and marketing worlds. And she really suggests a lot of money-saving hints.

The book covers many topics such as style, manuscript, illustrations, editors, copyright, ISBN, bar code, establishing your business at home, developing mailing lists, how to market ant promote your book on a limited budget, and much more. It consists of three parts. The first one is about making a book from idea to printing. Writing the book is the easy and pleasing part, very the tip of the iceberg of book-publishing. The second part of the book is on business of publishing, as writing is an art and publishing is a business. And the third part is on publicity, promotion, and marketing. In appendix you'll find the list of some useful publications, periodicals, association and distributors' magazines, book distributors and wholesalers, mailing list sources, other useful contacts, and a sample of the Book marketing plan by Five Star Publications.

Dan Poynter said about this book: this is your recipe, your coach, your mentor, your guide, your beacon, and your secret weapon. And he is quite right. I recommend this book for writers and small publishers.

Summary: Good, but there are better books on the subject.
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book. It is a good overview of self-publishing and written in a light, "easy-to-read" style. If you really wanted to learn to self-publish however, there are better books out there. What this book lacks is some of the detailed information that is available in other book on this subject. If you really want to learn to self-publish, check out the books by Poynter, Ross & Ross, Brownstone or Cordoza. Unfortunately you really need to purchase a couple of these book to really learn what you need to know. I haven't found one of that covers everything in sufficient detail.
