Amazon.com Review
The bible on self-publishing. Highly recommended by virtually everyone in the industry -- even other authors of books on the subject (many of whom probably followed the advice in Poynter's previous 11 editions).

Great Info to Fill in the Gaps June 21, 2009
R. D. Jentsch (Texas, United States)
I have been reading and researching information for publishing and self publishing alike. I needed information to flesh out what I had learned. This is definitely a wonderful addition to your library if you are interested in writing and publishing your own work. I can't tell you how the section on researching non-fiction has helped me substantially.

 Outdated June 21, 2009

It is inconceivable this alarmingly outdated 14th edition is still offered for sale. 14th edition belongs in the remainder bin, and nowhere else. Look up the 16th edition.
A MUST-HAVE FOR EVERY WRITER ASPIRING TO BE PUBLISHED! June 11, 2009
Donna P. Savage
Thanks to Dan Poynter's excellent resources volume, I managed to get my first book published, avoiding many pitfalls and incorporating some excellent ideas (like placing my title on the spine so that it will read vertically when sitting on a shelf! Dan's advice runs from the minute details of packaging to the timelines to marketing, with lots more than the average person will be able to take in. I recommend this book for everyone who wants to be published EVEN IF you do not publish yourself. Attention to details will guarantee a much better chance of success and Dan gives you details!

 Will Create Foundation But Oversimplifies June 9, 2009
Christoph M. Lee (nomad)
I've personally spoken with Poynter, and it's clear he knows his stuff. We talked about his "binder system," and how to take advantage of digital tools to market and promote your book.
With that said, this book is a little outdated, and he makes the whole process sound much simpler than it really is.
You'll think, "Oh, I'll just start collecting information, put it into order, then I'll be ready to publish!"
It's not that easy, and Poynter makes it sound like if you read this book, it will be.
Don't buy into the magic bullet nature of the book. It's helpful, and it offers some nuggets of wisdom. But be ready to keep working, writing, and learning more about the self-publishing business - especially the way the Internet is changing the game.
