So I say kudos. I purchased this book two years ago and i'm happy to say this book was one of the greatest resouces on the planet for authors and publishers. Mr.Kramer keep up the good work. I have used this book to launch me into many things. This book has helped exposed me to other avenues to market my book. My book is on amazon: My Mother Told Me. Why Didn't Your Mother Tell You.Machina Ervin,AuthorCEO, Big Erv publishing, LLC[.].
Make Friends and Sell BooksJohn Kremer seems to live and breathe book marketing. And a whole lot more. John says, `Take your time.
Connecting with people and networking is all about making friends.The first time you thumb through the 700-page book you are almost overwhelmed by the daunting task ahead. And enjoy.'Keep that in mind and do one task at a time. One of his mottos is that selling is all about making friends and the more you work with 1001 Ways to Market your Book the sooner you recognize the truth in that statement.
Do it right. Just turn a couple of pages and you'll find the dedication. It's only a few lines but near the bottom is a line filled with hope.
Then before you know it, you'll be highlighting sections and marking page numbers for points of reference.The book contains everything from Internet sales, websites, blogs and newsletters to bookstores and book fairs.

This is by far the best book on the market for marketing books. It is literally a bible for book marketing. I think I have read it 5 times and bought another one for the co-author of my book. It's a must have book for self-publishing authors.
I have 18-years of experience in the ad agency world and this beats anything I've read from ANY industry - I've used John Kremer's approach of identifying each niche with many of my consulting clients. This book is the single best book - or guide - ever compiled for marketing, promotion and the inner workings of the publishing industry. I've bought several copies for fellow publishers and new writers to teach them about what to expect after they write their books. I've read it cover-to-cover several times over the years and it never fails to get my creative mind into high-gear. Best $35 I've ever invested.
You will have to wade through it to find the areas that are relevant to you. I own this book and refer to it often. At first glance, it's hundreds of pages are enough to make you turn and run (and I LIKE to read), but stick with it. It will be tabbed, marked up and well worn. However, it is brutally long. Every read will enlighten you with more ideas. I have used this as a foundation for creating a marketing plan for my books.
