Book Reviews of Beyond the Bookstore: How to Sell More Books Profitably to Non-Bookstore Markets

Book Review: Overpriced and boring - but required reading
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is an example of why I don't read "how to" books. $49 is far too much for this book, considering how much more in depth information you will get from "Jump Start Your Book Sales" or anything by Marion Ross and of course that old curmudgeon John Kremmer.

But don't you dare let that stop you from buying THIS book. This book is indeed full of "stuff" you need to do to sell a lot of books in places you never thought of (which is the point of reading this book). Look: the book is painful to read. Seriously. Don't take my word for it: YOU try it. But dose up on NoDoz and a few cafe au laits and get to studyin'. If you ever want to break the 10,000 books sold barrier (the absolute minimum number of copies sold to be considered a "best seller" in any sense of the term) you need to know what is in this book. Perhaps there will be a companion WORKBOOK someday that will help the author (you) actually complete some or all of the ideas covered in this text. [That was a blatant hint by the way: this book needs a workbook]

I like what Brian has done here and I wish him well. After all I gave him $50 of my money (+ s&h) so I "support" him. I hope that in the future he will pen a more author-friendly version that actually holds your hand along the process. An excellent companion to this book is "The Complete Guide to Book Publicity" by Jodee Blanco I believe. Nice girl. Well written. Knows her stuff too. Check out Kremmer as well. Then come back to THIS book for more ideas. At $50 a copy though, do not let this book out of your sight.
