5.0 out of 5 stars How To Beat The Large Publishers At Their Own Game, March 26, 2000

This review is from: U-Publish.com: How Individual Writers Can Now Effectively Compete with the Giants of the Publishing Industry (Paperback)

I have been reading Dan Poynter's books since buying his first edition of THE SELF-PUBLISHING MANUAL. Any serious writer or publisher should read all books and resources that Dan Poynter writes. U-PUBLISH.COM is absolutely necessary for anyone who is connected to the book or publishing industry, whether writer, publisher or wannabe. The truth is, the publishing rules are changing fast. This book contains the most up-to-date methods of selling books through all channels, including SUCCESSFULLY MARKETING BOOKS ON THE INTERNET, and providing many ways to make books available to most bookstores throughout the world for only a fraction of the expense that it used to cost to put a book into printed form. Anyone who publishes a book without reading this book is inviting only small success, and also operating with a major handicap. This book will give you a huge lead way ahead of most major publishers. Danny Snow has done a terrific job of co-authoring this book.

First let me qualify my review. I'm a published author (computer books) and I have personal experience selling goods and services online.
I found this book is light on facts and filled with forward-looking statements. I don't blame the author for being enthousiastic but I found the book is mostly preaching. There's too little practical "how-to" information.
Some of Mr Poynter other books (including the "Self-Publishing Manual") are of very high quality, full of practical, useful information. This one is not of the same quality.
