5.0 out of 5 stars Get both books, December 16, 2002

By	Don Taylor (Boston USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Start and Produce a Magazine or Newsletter (Paperback)

"Still inspired" is almost right with his review. If you are seeking a book by someone who has worked at the big end of town (discussing finance etc) then Cheryl Woodward has written the book (Starting & Running a Successful Newsletter or Magazine) you should buy. Gordon Woolf's book is much more the book for the ordinary person who wants to start a local publication or is asked to start or take over a club magazine or company newsletter. I found especially useful the free advertisement rate calculation spreadsheet you can now download from the book's website (there's a password inside the back cover)-- that was worth the price of the book on its own. But for most people the answer is to buy both books. Each covers things the other doesn't. Both authors know their stuff.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and not very informative, June 10, 2003

By	LowCarbWoman (NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Start and Produce a Magazine or Newsletter (Paperback)

I was hoping to learn things I hadn't seen in other books, but I didn't. Not only is the book outdated, but it's also quite limited in what it offers. I was not happy with it at all.
