The Self-Publishing Manual, more effectively and successfully than any other book, has turned writers with an idea into successful authors with books by providing solid, usable information in clear, concise, readable lanugage. This is not the stuff of theory, it is the product of hard-earned experience.

Summary: Remarkable Resource
Comment: I used Dan Poynter's Self-Publishing Manual as a guide when I self-published my parenting/healthcare book entitled A Gift for Life: A Complete Record of Your Child's Health History! Dan's manual is straight forward and very user friendly. I was able to independently produce a quality product without wasting a lot of valuable time.

Summary: By far the best, and regularly updated
Comment: This is by far the best book on self-publishing that I have read.
Dan does a really good job of telling you how the publishing industry works, and explaining how you can make more money by taking control of the publishing process yourself.
The book has a USA bias, but much of the content is also relevant to UK, European, and international authors and budding publishers.
In the 13th Edition that I have read, the chapter on Print-On-Demand (POD) appeared to be something of an afterthought and did not specifically mention companies like Lulu, CreateSpace, Lightning Source and BookSurge that are revolutionaizing the self-publishing industry. This may well have changed in the later editions.

Summary: Love it, need it, buy it!
Comment: I fully endorse this book as I love it. It has completely steered me in the right directions every step of the way self publishing my first children's picture book. I love it and if you are pondering self publishing you NEED this book. So buy it for sure no matter what type of book you are thinking of publishing...fiction, novel, art or childrens. I am still picking this book a lot even after my book came out. Great tips on writing, printing, promoting & etc! Mommy's High Heel Shoes

Summary: A Very Helpful Manual
Comment: This book is very helpful to anyone wishing to self-publish their own book. It is filled with useful information and leads the reader to other useful resources outside of the book including Poynter's own website. Unfortunately, many of these outside references carry a price tag greater than the cost of this book. All in all, I would recommend this book to any self-publisher as a standard reference guide.
