Format:Paperback
As someone who has pubished with Outskirts Press, I can say that this book covers the elements of self publishing in a way to illuminate the whole process to those first time authors who need to know of this latest type of publishing. There are undounbtedly many like me for whom POD publishing is a revelation. My book "People Are Everything" was helped enormously by the whole process.

Format:Paperback
This book helped guide me through the maze of POD publishing and other options, which can be a minefield for the unwary. My new novel, The Remembering, A Novel of Karma & Global Peril, was published by Outskirts Press three weeks ago and exceeded my expectations for a professionally produced product and a smooth production phase. Self-Publishing Simplified is a must-read for anyone trying to navigate their way past the rather nasty world of traditional publishing.

Good for the Coupon January 2, 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This "book" by the president of Outskirts Press is nothing more than a nicely bound version of the publisher's guidelines, programs and options for their Print On Demand services. It is available in its entirety --at no cost-- at their web-site. There are 2 valid reasons to buy it however.
(1) You get a $20 coupon at the back of the book to use toward one of their packages should you decide to publish with them. So the net savings is about $15
(2) It is a relatively inexpensive way to see the quality of the books they publish -- the binding, the front & Back cover, etc.
My recommendation is to go to their web-site and then if you're seriously considering publishing with them buy the book.
