Condrill's book was fantastic at helping me come up with creative ideas on how to promote my book, Genesis Beach, and how to get folks to host book signings at practically no cost to me. I am still overwhelmed and grateful for the success I'm having. I wouldn't have had a clue without this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad, May 3, 2006

By	JEFF RIVERA "Author of FOREVER MY LADY on Ama... (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

From Book Signing to Bestseller was okay, not bad. It was a quick-read. But I was hoping for some unique techniques to generate publicity to have a huge response to book signing but it was good to have the general idea of how to do a book signing in one place that was nice. I think the book could be condensed down to 2-3 pages of actual useful knowledge. I was also hoping to see that the authors would have actually made their books bestsellers on NY Times or something to show the credibility that they're techniques works but I am thankful to have this information in one book. I'm not sure there's another book out there like it so for that major kudos.
