Lots of great advice to help authors to promote their own books, including some innovative ones. Two of the most important lessons from the book: 1) The author has to believe in her own work and be prepared to share it with the world. If the author doesn't sincerely believe that her book will be of value to readers, no one else will believe it either. 2) Helping others is not only a nice thing to do, but it also pays off for the person who helps. Often when we hear the word networking we have a preconceived idea of glad-handing a bunch of people at a "networking event," but Carolyn demonstrates the true meaning of networking. I jokingly describe what she does as "name-dropping" - she mentions many other authors and people who provide services for authors throughout the book as examples and resources. The information is useful to the reader; the person whose name is being dropped receives publicity; and Carolyn cements her relationships with these people who are likely to be willing to return the favor.

Despite the clumsy typesetting and too-frequent typos, this book is a treasure. Chock-full of easy, fun, and cheap ways to promote your book. I'm ready to read it all over again! ( )
