It doesnt matter whether you are a beginner or experienced author or publisher in book marketing, you WILL find a new marketing ideas, and refine some of your current marketing.Hope this helps.Patrice
I have been in the book industry for 25 years and John Kremer's book is the only one that I would call a "must have" reference book for the industry. I first bought this in 1997 and the newest edition definitely updates and maintains the integrity of the contacts he lists. I recommend this to anyone who wants to sell their book(s) in the "trade".
This book is amazing. This is the type of book that you don't read cover, to cover, just pick it up and sample a few of his excellent ideas. There are a few typos and errors here and there, but after 6 editions and zillions of updates, that's not surprising. That aside, John Kremer has assembled an unbelievable treasure trove of book marketing information for authors and publishers alike. Just two or three of his tactics are enough to keep you busy marketing for quite a while and there are a thousand or a thousand and one ideas in here that work - I've tried several and already seen immediate results so that I know where to continue to focus.Great stuff.

I had a copy of the previous edition of this book from many years ago. Since marketing is changing so fast, even this latest edition doesn't cover today's essential book marketing techniques like social media and new media. an author.
I wasn't disappointed.While I know quite a bit about marketing from my work in the corporate world and my own entrepreneurial efforts, I was surprised at how many classic ideas I had overlooked in my latest campaign once I re-read "1001 Ways To Market Your Books." To me, that's the biggest strength of this book--to make sure you've left no marketing stone unturned in promoting your book. However, there is such a wealth of information that is applicable to an author, it's a minor inconvenience. So when I was brainstorming about what I might be missing in the marketing efforts for my newest book, I decided it would be worth investing in the latest edition.
It might make sense to have an edition of the book for authors only. And by doing so, you're bound to get your own marketing creativity going and think of additional things you can do, and ways to adapt the material to your own needs.There are only two weakness of the book:1. There is still a sizable portion of the book that is more geared to being a book publisher vs.
2. I guess that'll be in John's seventh edition :)
