I was not able to read this whole book its too big. But I have been using it as a reference. I prefer Aaron Shepard's book better but this one does compliments his as a reference and it has more details.
The Book and Man that Started it all May 17, 2008
As far as I'm concerned, Dan Poynter is the man who started it all in the self publishing arena with his body of knowledge. I've used his book and other publications of Poynters like a bible for my writing projects. He's got such a great reference tool here in relation to self publishing, and all his books touch on the myriad topics needed to learn if you are a writer, marketer and publisher. This is a must read whether you're just getting started or a veteran in the business. Elaine Williams, author A Journey Well Taken: Life After Loss.

 This book isn't really for the "writer" in us . . . April 28, 2008

I expected some key steps for the auther, especially a new author, to follow, once he/she has chosen to self publish. Instead this book is a manual on "publishing": the pre-print and print cycles of the standard print production cycle. As a practioner of advertising and promotion for over 40 years, I probably published thousands of publications: annual reports; data sheets; brochures. The process I knew; the insights as it related to the world of publishing fiction I did not.
If you are ignorant of the steps in the publishing process (novel, neighborhood flyer, brochure) and really want to know, this book can give you an idea of how it is done. It's an easy read for the layman, clear, and straightforward.
