      Disappointing for me - your mileage may vary. This is based around the premise that (a) you have written a non-fiction book, preferably a self-help or an "inspirational" work, and (b) that you have been published or are looking seriously at being published by a New York publisher. Since my independently published books are fiction, this book is less use to me than to many readers. It also assumes that your market and your home are the USA (slightly more reasonable as an assumption, I suppose, but it doesn't apply to this Brit living in Japan). As it happens, this book is actually a POD book (I recognize the footprints of Lightning Source), and is none the worse for that, but I find it ironic that the authors are writing about commercial publishing and are not being commercially published.As to the content: a little bit repetitive, and often recycled from other books in the series, sometimes without due regard to the applicability of the advice to authors. There are gems of advice there, and there are a few things I hadn't considered. Some, as I say, are useless - local newspaper, radio, TV stations? Forget these in a country which isn't my target market. Some edge towards being entrepreneur/MBA waffle (substitute any term you like for "waffle"), but if you're prepared to work your way through this oddly-structured book, you may find something that will be of use to you.
