Review by: Richard Denning on Jan. 02, 2010 : (no rating)
I am totally new to the world of self publishing (and publishing in general), but I am finding this book very helpful in picking through the minefield.

The only caveat I have is it is (naturally) written by an American, for Americans about publishing in the States. I am in the UK so much of the material is of less relevance than it would be for an American. That said there is much of the book which is relevant and helpful and its clear and comprehensive layout is a joy to read.

Five stars if you are a US non fiction author, maybe 3 and a half or four if not in the US or a Fiction author. But well worth owning.

Review by: Brad McRae on Mar. 06, 2009 :
With the current economic meltdown deciding on a publishing strategy is more difficult than ever. I have written seven books and have just completed number eight. In my career as an author, I have published with a major NY publisher, a mid-sized NY publishing house; I have worked with a major NY agent, and published several specialty books with specialty publishers. I have also self-published three books.

I want to make the best decision possible in publishing book number eight. At this time, I am still gathering and analyzing information to help me make the best decision possible. Dan Poynter’s latest book, The Self-Publishing Manual, Volume II, has provided me, and it will provide you with an extraordinary amount of up-to-date information that will help you make the best decision possible on how to publish your book, no matter what publishing format you choose, pBook (printed), eBook, or aBook (audio), or some combination of all three. This book covers critical information in four crucial areas: book publishing challenges and technological solutions, writing and producing your book, distributing your book and promoting your book.
