Review by: Dr Alexander Elder on Oct. 08, 2011 :
A brief and practical manual - i printed it out (only 26 pages), read it and marked it up, then followed its instructions as I published my first e-book (To Trade Or Not to Trade: A Beginner's Manual). Harvey hit all the key points: from formatting (no tabs, no footers, etc.) to cover design (various pixels for different websites), to distribution. Simple, practical, and useful!

Review by: John A. Miller, Jr. on July 02, 2011 :
In a concise publication Harvey has done an excellent job of providing formatting details for submitting books to Smashwords, Amazon, and B&N. This is essential information for anybody intending to enter the somewhat different world of E publishing. I'm planning to submit my first novel, and I expect to rely heavily on Harvey's suggestions.

This is a nifty little blueprint for writers moving into the E Pub world.It is well organized, illustrated and articulated. It belongs right in the center of a writer's critical reference sources.
