Posted December 25, 2007, 9:41 AM EST: John Kremer seems to live and breathe book marketing. One of his mottos is that selling is all about making friends and the more you work with 1001 Ways to Market your Book the sooner you recognize the truth in that statement. Connecting with people and networking is all about making friends. The first time you thumb through the 700-page book you are almost overwhelmed by the daunting task ahead. Just turn a couple of pages and you¿ll find the dedication. It¿s only a few lines but near the bottom is a line filled with hope. John says, `Take your time. Do it right. And enjoy.¿ Keep that in mind and do one task at a time. Then before you know it, you¿ll be highlighting sections and marking page numbers for points of reference. The book contains everything from Internet sales, websites, blogs and newsletters to bookstores and book fairs. And a whole lot more. Tom Barnes author of: `Doc Holliday¿s Road to Tombstone.'

December 01, 2006: Marketing and promotions wizard John Kremer has at long last issued the sixth edition of his incredibly smart and useful How-To book for marketing and selling books. In twenty-one chapters and over 700 pages, Kremer covers EVERYTHING: from fundamentals of promoting books to publicizing, advertising, networking, and advice about never giving up. Particularly wonderful chapters include 'How to Sell More Books via the Internet,' 'Getting Distribution,' and 'How to Sell Subsidiary Rights,' but every single chapter contains commonsense, clever techniques and ideas for marketing and selling. Kremer includes articles and web links to dozens of other experts including great advice by Pam Lontos in '14 Most Common Publicity Mistakes Authors Make,' Kathi Dunn's 'Design Your Book to Build Your Brand,' and Chris Roerden and Pat Miller's 'Market-Savvy Editing.' A virtual cornucopia of tips, ideas, activities, and techniques, this is one of the greatest books on book promotions ever written. If you're a publisher or author, don't miss this tremendous resource. I can't recommend it more highly.
