Book Marketing DeMystified: Enjoy Discovering the Optimal Way to Sell Your Self-Published Book, Practical ...8 reviews
Bruce T. Batchelor
Agio Publishing House, 2007
A resource for authors and independent publishers.
It often comes as a shock when newly published authors discover that they must bear most of the burden of marketing their books to the general reading public -- even if they are fortunate enough to be published by one of the major New York publishing firms like Random House, Simon & Schuster or Penguin-Putnam. For self-published authors that marketing responsibility is completely theirs. Most ...

Green & Black's Chocolate Recipes: From the Cacao Pod to Muffins, Mousses and Moles3 reviews
Caroline Jeremy
Kyle Books, 2004
One of the best
This is a great bargain, as the first reviewer states. There are a plethora of beautiful and inspirational photos, but the recipes are achievable. Many fancy chocolate cookbooks have fabulous looking recipes, but they require half a day, or more, to complete.
My daughter and I just made the Guiness Stout Cake and were very happy with the results.
I haven't tried their easy way of tempering ...

Aiming at Amazon: The NEW Business of Self Publishing, or How to Publish Books for Profit with Print on ...78 reviews
Aaron Shepard
Shepard Publications, 2007
Best Book Out There!
"Aiming at Amazon" by Aaron Shepard is my favorite book right now because I successfully used it to create my already written book, "The Magi of Futurity", and have it listed on Amazon. After checking with others and reading the reviews for Aaron's book, I was very impressed and couldn't wait to order it. Within two months after reading this book, along with Aaron's "Perfect Pages" book, I had ...

April L. Hamilton

This book is a gem. It is good as a stand-alone guide, but it will really shine if used in conjunction with other books.

1. Indie authorship: An introduction
2. Publishing options
3. Getting organized
4. Creating your brand
5. DIY formatting for POD
6. Editing and revising
7. Designing your own book cover

Dehanna Bailee
Blue Leaf Publications, 2005

Top Self Publishing Firms: How Writers Get Published, Sell More Books, and Rise to the Top: and Make Money ...13 reviews
Stacie Vander Pol
CreateSpace, 2008
"Wish I'd had this before I started!"
Holy cow, this is great! Wish I'd had this when I first chose to self-publish. The information is extremely well researched, and best of all--current. Much of the information I already knew, but only after learning from (sometimes difficult) experiences.
I liked the organizational format of the book, and how the author freely posits an unbiased approach to the evaluations. Too, even family ...

Release Your Writing: Book Publishing Your Way8 reviews
Virtualbookworm.com Publishing Inc., 2007
Tremendous Resource
The information in this "action-packed" volume is tremendously helpful. My own book, Waltzing Australia, had been published before I found Helen's book, but I have still found it immensely valuable for the wealth of marketing ideas. I also appreciate the tips on using the computer more efficiently. This is a wonderful resource for any writer, traditionally published or self-published, because we ...

Dream Pod 9,Canada, 1997
An excellent SF RPG
Heavy Gear is one of the best SF roleplaying games in existence. It combines an incredibly rich setting, an overarching storyline that rivals Babylon 5 for depth and complexity and a simple, flexible and intuitive rules system for roleplaying and tactical combat. Some people may already be somewhat familiar with the Heavy Gear setting through either the Activision Heavy Gear computer games or ...

Arnold Pent III
The Vision Forum, Inc., 2004
A Fun Story about an Amazing Family
Being a family that wants to honor God and obey His Word ourselves, it was neat to hear the adventures of the Arnold Pent family. They traveled all across North America, often wondering where they would sleep or where their next meal would come from or how they would pay for gas. But they trusted God and He always provided.
As a father, this book gave me a vision for teaching my family the ...

Good Likeness1 review
Paul Arnott
Little Brown Pod, 2007
This memoir of adoption is more than an autobiography
This memoir of adoption is more than an autobiography: A Good Likeness tells of an adult who only comes to terms with his past when his own child is born. His journey to find his own biological parents touches on social and psychological issues alike.

David Rising
Lulu.com, 2006
Very useful, informative, accurate, and interesting
I bought this book when I was in the manuscript stage of my first book. I found this book to be a very educational one as I liked to write, but had no idea how to publish. This book is a very useful read and has much information in it that I refer to often. I now have my book on Amazon in Kindle format and coming soon in paperback thanks to this information. Bravo to the author. Great job!

Superscience Roleplaying Supplement (Gear Krieg)1 review
Alex Rhodes
Dream Pod 9, 2001
One of the best RPG sourcebooks ever written
We have zombies! We have rocket packs! We have Telsa death rays on Soviet military super-tanks. We have a secret meeting between Thomas Edison and Nicoli Tesla. We've got it all right here.
The Superscience book is darn near required for running a full campaign of Gear Krieg, but its an expense you shouldn't mind making. The book contains rules for medical superscience including ...

Wish I would have thought of it
Give this book a read! It's entertaining and makes you laugh out loud. I loved the idea of jellybean combinations for men and wish I would have thought of it. We all can relate. I found myself using the jellybean combos to describe my own relationships!

Mesto pod solntsem (Russkii bestseller)1 review
Polina Dashkova
"Eksmo-press", 1999
A good thriller from the new Russia
In the Soviet period the thriller genre languished in Russia. Since the fall of communism it has blossomed. The "queen of the Russian crime novel" is undoubtedly Polina Dashkova. Her novel "A place under the sun" is quite a good thriller. A 33 year old casino owner is killed just when he returns home at night, falling into the arms of his wife, a famous ballerina. Who did it? Plenty of people ...

"I am saved only/By my thirst for the blue sky..."
A beautiful book and a moving book in its clarity. I found the reading of this slim volume a wonderful, celebratory experience of a sensitive life, and the author's voice is strikingly personal throughout each poem. Reading in the course of a very long day, I felt like I was perusing old photographs and sharing memories, and I didn't fully realize the impact of this very accessible and very ...

Tribe 8: Rulebook2 reviews
Dream Pod 9, 1998
One of the most distinctive RPG's
I heard about Tribe 8 from a friend who happened to know the design team. He started a small group of us playing to convert us all to the glory of this game. Tribe 8 is exquisetly well done. The book is more in character than most White Wolf games. The system is creation heavy. You will spend a very long time making your character, but once you've done that everything else is incredibly simple. ...
