Book Publishing Encyclopedia

This book contains some of the same information as Don Poynter's other book, "Self Publishing Manual". However, its all organized alphabetically for easy reference. This book works very well when used in conjunction with "Self Publishing Manual", as it allows you to quickly review the piece of information that you know you read from the manual. A useful book.

Book Publishing Encyclopedia: Tips And Resources For Authors And Publisher by Dan Poynter (the legendary guru of small press publishers) is an in-depth, knowledgeable, experienced based and "real world tested" compendium of useful, practical, and helpful information pertaining to the difficult and somewhat complex process of publishing and authorship. Providing a "user-friendly" guide to saving time and money in the publishing process, the utilization of internet resources, and more then 1001 tips, techniques and strategies on how to write, publish and promote a book, the Book Publishing Encyclopedia deftly informs novice publishers of the most effective approaches to profitable book publishing in an increasingly competitive marketplace. The Book Publishing Encyclopedia is very strongly recommended for all readers and writers searching for the ultimate and concise reference for publishing an authored work. Indeed, no personal, professional, or community library "Writing/Publishing" reference collection can be considered complete without the inclusion of Dan Poynter's Book Publishing Encyclopedia which is available in a variety of formats including soft cover, large print, LIT, PF, MobiPocket, and Palm. See the Dan Poynter website at parapublishing.com for specific ordering information.

Dan Poynter's _Book Publishing Encyclopedia_ reminds me of John Kremer's classic _1001 Ways to Market Your Book_. It's a smorgasbord of ideas--and especially, online sources where you can find further information, advice, and products. Arranged in alphabetical order, it touches on everything from how to get an ISBN to creative book-packing ideas (balloons, anyone)? An excellent complement to a process-oriented publishing book such as Poynter's _Self-Publishing Manual_. You'll probably get your money's worth after five minutes of reading.
