Great for publishers, but...

When I received my book contract, my publisher recommended this book, and I hurried out to the library to pick up a copy -- but I found that it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. If you're starting a publishing house of your own, this is an excellent resource, but it's not ideal for authors. I flipped through chapters full of information that didn't apply to me -- and I often felt that authors were an afterthought, spoken to only in the occasional box at the end of a section. I did get a few good ideas from this book, however, and if you're preparing to promote a book of your own, pick it up from the library and page through it. For authors, I recommend Publicize Your Book! by Jacqueline Deval -- it will give you more of what you need.

New (or used) Author, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!!!

I just purchased John's most recent edition and it is absolutely jam packed with every idea you will probably ever need to get your books in the hands of readers. Notice I did not say booksellers because John's advice goes far beyond just getting your book on the shelves. He gets into practically every aspect of promotion and publicity, which is what is needed to sell books these days. John truly is the "King" of book marketing and promotion. He "gets it!"

I'm the author

Of course, I think it's the best book on book marketing out there. But the publisher is NOT Ad-Lib Publications (my old company), but Open Horizons, my new company. Get it straight. John Kreme

Buy this book!

I am a one-book publisher. About two years ago, when I first began to think about writing and publishing, I read this book. I should tell you that I am extremely thrifty and I only buy books that I will refer to again and again. I'll even admit that I first read the library's copy of this book. However, after I read 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, I immediately placed an order so that I could have a copy of my own. It has been worth its weight in gold to me. It's the best marketing tool for books that I know of, with clear explanations and lots of examples. If you are an author or a publisher, or even thinking about becoming one, I strongly suggest that you get this book. I can't think of a better $20 investment in your book-selling future.
