I think most people think advertising might work on other people, other people being, by definition, a bit thick – but to suggest it might work on them is close to the biggest insult you can offer them. I think a large part of the problem people might have with this book is the same problem a lot of people have with advertising. This book is disturbing – and not just a little disturbing, I’ve been thinking of ways to do without Facebook and Google – that level of disturbing. Like I said, this book is very long and in three parts – and at the end of the first part I was getting ready to clap and thought, hang on, there seems to be an awful lot of this left. Sometimes, when you are at a symphony concert, the first movement will end with ‘da – da – da – daaaaaa’ and some people in the audience will clap, something that annoys all of those who know you are only meant to clap right at the end of the piece. I was talking to a friend at work about this book and we agreed it was both very good and very long, perhaps even too long. ![]()

But it really did sound like a great book, the kind I usually enjoy.īut hey, on the plus side I absolutely love the front cover!

The process is actually fairly straightforward, even easy. In part, this is due to the quality of the writing, but it might also be due to the fact that the cost of truly doing it yourself is exponentially cheaper, and authors retain much more control over every aspect of their book, including price. These numbers are exponentially better than the self-publishing average of anywhere from 10 to 100 copies. These authors include Rich Barnett, author of "The Discreet Charms of a Bourgeois Beach Town," which in its first three months sold more than 1,000 copies and continues to sell well and Revere Reed, whose first novel, "On A Dime: Senseless in Lewes” sold, in its first three months, hundreds of copies, more than 300 in one local store alone. This is exactly what a number of Rehoboth Beach Writers’ Guild members have been doing, quite successfully in the last few months, by using the publishing tool CreateSpace. In fact, authors are often better off not spending the money and publishing their books themselves. Nor do they need to spend the hundreds of dollars that so many self-publishers charge for their publishing packages. More and more, writers do not have to go through traditional publishing channels to publish a great book that also sells well and looks beautiful. ![]() ![]() ![]() They might want to start with the back matter.
