- The Self-Publishing Manual, Volume 2
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.
