The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published, 4th Edition
$19.95
Amusing, insightful - a great guide for the newbie looking to be published for the first time. Of all the books I've read about getting your book published, this was the only one that described how university presses operate. With Sheree and Jennifer's great information, I was able to obtain a publishing contract for my first book with my first query! Many thanks!

This program is everything that the seller decribed. I was uncertain when I tried reading the instruction manual, so I tossed it. I learned this program through trial and error. I have a good looking newspaper because of it.

Book Business: Publishing Past, Present, and Future
$13.95
Though I picked up this book to learn about the publishing business (and I did learn, just a little), I really enjoyed it as a story of how passion, perspective, perseverance, and being in the right place are important for entreprenuership.

This book, written in autobiographical style, starts off with how the author, based on his university experience, has the insight that 1950s era America was ready for quality paperbacks, an insight people even who went to university before the war would have missed. It reminded me of how much of today's social networking revolution is lead by young people who have a better feel of for how people of their generation connect with each other. Most of the book is packed with similar interesting stories - from Jason's days at small publishing shops that become divisions of conglomerates to how he started three different ventures during his career.
