This book is very useful, and I expect I'll return to it time and again as I progress through my indie publishing career. Jean Bauhaus covers the end to end process of self publishing, and goes over the necessary steps to make a minimally viable book product. I especially found useful the broken out sections of "if you have a little money" and "if you have no money" for the different steps.

There are lots of resources out there for indie publishers, and this book does a great job of rounding up the best advice out there and presenting it in a very accessible, no-nonsense way for indie authors everywhere. Go forth and pick this up--you won't be sorry!

Full disclosure: I received an advance copy of this book from the author.
