“Without glitzy idealism or funky hopelessness, Kremer does a sound job of talking about marketing, telling stories from his own and others' experiences. He knows his subject, imparting important information in a fast-paced, very open way. Extremely good stuff here.” — The Book Reader / May, 2006. 704-page softcover. $27.95.
“John Kremer is the ultimate researcher, detective, and packrat. With his ear to the ground, his eyes in the media and his nose in the Net, he ferrets out all the inside information and details on places to promote and sell books. Then he generously shares it in 1001. Kremer's book is every publisher's most important resource. The successful ones keep the latest edition next to their dictionary within immediate reach. You can have this treasure too. Invest in it now.
“Kremer writes from detailed research and heard-earned experience. He covers advertising, promotion, distributors, bookstores, book design, libraries, spin-offs, and more. In fact, there is little he does not cover and cover well.” — Dan Poynter, author and publisher, The Self-Publishing Manual
