Summary: Don't Waste Your Money Here
Comment: Being a new author entering into the tenebrous realms of self-publishing can be scary & overwhelming. There is so much information that one has to learn before publishing a book. David M. Brownstone & Irene M. Franck do a horrible job at clearing the opaque skies.... Not only is Brownstone & Franck's book confusing it is also unorganized. I found myself jumping from one section to another trying to figure out what was going on. Please do not waste your money buying Brownstone & Franck's [useless] book....

Rating: 3
Summary: Good information and fun to read
Comment: This book is packed with inforamation. If you get this book coupled with Dan Poynter's books you will be in good shape. The marketing section is a bit weak- so check out Bill Parkhurst's How To Get Publicity or of course Guerrilla Marketing for Writers.

Summary: Well written and thorough
Comment: I've purchased several books on self publishing and they vary greatly in terms of quality. This is one of the better ones. The information is current and presented in a logical, interesting style. It focuses mostly on the pre-production and fullfillment aspects of self-publishing which is the information that most beginners need to get started. Marketing is covered in less detail so most people would be better off by purchasing one of the several books that have been written on book marketing, in addition to this book.

I haven't found one self-publishing book that really covers everything that you need to know. If you're trying to self publish I'd recommend that you purchase a couple of books on the subject. I'd also suggest that look for ones that have been published within the last several years.
