Summary: Buy this book!
Review: I am a one-book publisher. About two years ago, when I first began to think about writing and publishing, I read thisbook. I should tell you that I am extremely thrifty and I onlybuy books that I will refer to again and again. I'll even admitthat I first read the library's copy of this book. However, afterI read 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, I immediatelyplaced an order so that I could have a copy of my own. It hasbeen worth its weight in gold to me. It's the best marketingtool for books that I know of, with clear explanations and lotsof examples. If you are an author or a publisher, or even thinking aboutbecoming one, I strongly suggest that you get this book. I can't think of a better $20 investment in your book-sellingfuture.

Review: 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

Summary: Great for publishers, but...
Review: 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.
