This book was VERY basic. If you are just starting out with this, I would say its worth the read. If you've done any other kind of research into this, not sure this is your best bet.

[Aurora Dimitre · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good, but nothing I haven't heard before.

[Shavon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I chose the book for specific information on publishing a nonfiction book. However, the information on nonfiction books was interspersed with fiction books, newspapers and magazines. I believe I got most of what I needed but a reference book should be compartmentalized better

Serviceable...

[Laura Gilfillan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty basic. Not a lot of details.

[K. S. Moore · Rating 1 out of 5]

Redundant to a lot of books I'd already learned from. Too high-level. Too "beginner".
