Review by: StreetWise Publications on Jan. 30, 2012 :
For 99 cents you can't go wrong. I have been publishing on Smashwords almost as long as Graham and even though I know everything (just ask my wife, she'll tell you)there were some new things to glean from this helpful report. As someone already publishing on Smashwords it validated what I was doing , which means for someone contemplating this route it will set you on the right path to begin with and save a lot of wasted time and effort.

I think everyone who publishes here should invest the 99 cents and the time to read this book (less than half an hour or so)as the returns will far outweigh the expense.
