Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
John Kremer's home might be nestled in Iowa cornfields, but his advice on book marketing comes straight from publishing's epicenter. 1001 Ways to Market Your Books is a tome of biblical proportion, a 700-page "organized potpourri" of useful ideas, examples, tips, and suggestions. You name it, Kremer covers it: publication scheduling, series and directory writing, attaining bestsellerdom, direct mail, cover design, offbeat advertising, online sales, alternative markets, and much (really!) more. He includes addresses and phone numbers, Web site addresses, and hundreds of marketing stories from authors and publishers. It is these stories that inspire one to think outside the box. One Canadian author changed his last name from Zimmerman to Cimmerman purely for bookstore-placement purposes. And Greg Godek, author of 1001 Ways to Be Romantic, performs a reverse shoplift. He sneaks copies of his books onto stores' shelves, figuring that if a copy sells, the store will order more. --Jane Steinberg
From Library Journal
Reflecting solid knowledge and experience, this second edition offers practical if sometimes obvious business tips, reference data, and promotional ideas that fledgling or floundering publishers might use to boost sales and market exposure. Many successful campaigns by firms large and small are cited, and the advice, not technical or system-ridden, is easy to grasp. Though little information is addressed to authors--mostly brief interspersed rephrasings of points in the main text--librarians should note the chapters on selling to libraries and bookstores. Worth buying, but be forewarned that purchase could lead to requests for the publisher's other titles, as readers are urged to consult the companion volumes.
