Rating: Summary: The holy book of book marketing Review: My copy of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books is the most valuable object in my office today. Over the last two years that I have worked as a book marketing consultant, I have not only gleaned John Kremer's fantastic advice but I have added my own notes, dog-ears, hi-lighted text and paper clips that will forever provide me with direction and inspiration.It is always the first book that I recommend to new authors complaining about poor sales and limited visibility. There is no excuse for failure when you own a copy of 1001 Ways. And the great thing about this book is that the author is so extremely accessible. If one ever has questions that the book may not answer, Kremer is only a phone call away. Buy it, refer to it often and learn to add your own ideas.

Rating: Summary: Try All 1001 Ways!! Review: Quick fix marketing tips never last. 10 minute a day marketing is like telling a fat women to workout 10 minutes a day and look like Cheryl Tiegs in the 1980s. It is a farse and you shouldn't buy into such objectivism. The cold reality of the situation is that over 30,000+ books are produced a week in publishing. Of course, only about 5% are actually quality books, but still the numbers are staggering. There are no quick fix lottos. The successful author is realistic and makes contacts, networks, and his tool is the grindstone. Some doors may open, most will close. This is nothing but a car salesman's handbook and I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
Rating: Summary: Worth Every Penny (and then some!) Review: This book, along with The Complete Guide to Self-Publishing by Tom and Marilyn Ross, should be in every author's library (I have them on the corner of my desk) and need to be referred to often. If an author will do what Kremer suggests (do something everyday to promote their book), they will sell books. And Kremer has enough suggestions in this volume to keep an author busy for years.
