This is really nothing more than a directory. It is useful but the bottom line is that this is just an overpriced list of phone numbers and websites.

If you haven't read anything else about marketing your book, then this is a good place to start. I've included it in my box of resources and I recommend it to my writing group.

Concise information, well stated,
By Brian Templeton (Seattle WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Simple Guide to Marketing Your Book (Paperback)
I'm currently working on two ideas for non-fiction books. One is about current use (and mis-use) of English, the other a book of quotations.I found this book to be very helpful. I liked that it put things in as concise a manner as possible, getting directly to the point. I'd recommend it to anyone who's into publishing, self-publishing or marketing of a book. By reading this first, you'll probably save yourself from making mistakes and wasting money on wrong turns. So, I'd say to check it out before proceeding further with your book idea.
