Print-on-Demand Book Publishing: A New Approach To Printing And Marketing Books For Publishers And ... 36 reviews
Morris Rosenthal
Foner Books, 2004
The future of publishing
In these days of saving the environment, we must all do our bit. I have done mine by saving several trees' worth of stamps thanks to Morris Rosenthal's 'Print on Demand Book Publishing'.
Print on Demand (POD); only print a book if someone demands it.
POD means no more posting hundreds of copies of your manuscript to hard-boiled agents, no more giving your long-suffering postie a sore back ...

The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living56 reviews
Peter Bowerman
Fanove Publishing, 2006
Ravished Again
I was so thrilled to see that Peter Bowerman had done it again, and was so close to publishing my second book that I bought the e-book, downloaded it, printed it out and spent several evenings happily employed with a hole-punch.
I couldn't wait for the print version, so now I've got a pretty bulky, but useful, product. I love it! I use it! It's great!
Thanks, Peter
Mary Lynn Archibald

Finally, The Missing Link Between Dead Tree Books and E-Books
Using the number of dog-eared pages scale, this book should rank much higher than five stars. As soon as the UPS truck delivered the book, I started reading it. Unable to tear myself away from it, I then took it to my favorite reading room--the gym. There I spent two hours riding the exercise bike while I read the first two-thirds of the volume. After I left the gym I spent another hour finishing ...

Johanna Lindsey
Corgi, 1992
One of the best romance novels ever.
I've read a number of books by J. Lindsey and my two favorites are this book and "A Loving Scoundrel." Both of them have a girl dressed as and pretending to be a boy. I loved the characters. Good plot. Good writing. Great fun
CAUTION SPOILERS: Georgina was dressed as a boy and thought the captain (James) believed she was a boy. James knew she was really a girl but pretended he didn't ...

THE EAGLE AND THE ROSE57 reviews
ROSEMARY ALTEA
BANTAM, 1996
A GRAND Medium
This book was given to me by one of my customers following the death of my son. I went on to write, Blessings In The Mire, and had this title not been taken, it would likely have been the title to my book. Having read this, I was privy to multiple magical events, including a couple of Eagle sightings, and one very large and beautifully expressive Rose miracle. This book, and Ms. Altea are ...

Outskirts Press, 2005

VINTAGE, 2001
Absorbing the burden of humanity's suffering so that mankind can survive. A small masterpiece of a book!
This book was written in 1959 by a young French Jewish man who fought with the French resistance, was himself imprisoned, and somehow survived the holocaust. Mythical and artistic and touched with a bit of magic realism, it is the story of the persecution of the Jews in Europe in the context of history dating back to the eleventh century. The basic premise is a fictional Jewish myth of 36 just ...

Plug Your Book review by Patricia A. Guthrie, Author of In the Arms of the Enemy 2007
Way to go Steve!
I wish either I'd known about this book when my book was released OR I had thought all that stuff up by myself.
As there was no way I could have known about everything that's in this book, I'm so glad I found it--or it found me.
The literary world is changing. No longer are publishers taking on the responsibility of marketing and publicizing, unless you have a huge ...

What a relief: Total Clarity!
This book is a great relief because of its clarity and conveys a deep knowing of Oneness. So different from "spiritual" books that tout just another belief system or claim to teach Oneness while actually preaching separation. I am happily suprised to find another sharing of Oneness Consciousness that is as clear as Tony Parsons. If you want the real deal on what "Enlightenment" is actually ...

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 ...

Jeremy Robinson
Breakneck Books, 2006
Kernals of Gold
Yes! Another book that describes the POD business model as something other than a technical advancement to the traditional publishing model. Publishing POD requires different tactics and a different understanding of the publishing business. Copying what one knows or understands about the traditional publishing industry and then trying to shove that knowledge into the POD world is like shoving a ...

Mapp And Lucia18 reviews
E F Benson
The Echo Library, 2007
Cheerful Malice
"Mapp & Lucia" is like reading Trollope's "Barchester Towers" with the gloves off. The teacup may be small, but the battles rumble like thunder on the bay. Lucia is incredible. She combines absolute self-absorption with ironclad charming resolve to succeed in her every endeavor. She really is wasted being queen of Society in a small English village when fulfilling the duties of Lord High Admiral ...

Precious Bane - a Timeless Favorite!
I first learned of Precious Bane when I saw the movie adaptation on Masterpiece Theater in 1989. It immediately became my all-time favorite story. After reading the book, which is even more satisfying than the wonderful movie, Mary Webb became my favorite author as well.
Mary Webb was more than the consumate wordsmith, her character development makes one feel that Prue Sarn is a cherished ...

Thoughts on Fire: Life Lessons of a Volunteer Firefighter9 reviews
Frank B. McCluskey
Writers Advantage Pr, 2002
Loved this book
As an attorney who first became a volunteer firefighter at the tender age of 45, I found this book to be a great read. I have used it as a way to try to explain to others (my family, mostly) why someone my age would become a volunteer. I found the book to be well written, enlightening, and best of all, funny. I highly recommend it.

Lead Like Jesus by Blanchard
The author defines leadership as influence in a positive or negative direction. Given this definition, Jesus was the greatest
leader of all time. He was firmly grounded in the Rabinical
Judaism of the time. With this background, He took the fledging
Christian community on a Transformational Journey culminating in
His own crucifixion and a fantastic earthquake conincidental with
the Death and ...
