of their highly respected seminars. Jump Start has suggestions for selling
to bookstores, libraries, nontraditional markets, premium and incentive
sales. Throughout every chapter the reader comes upon a treasury of insider

Jump Start Your Book Sales is a very highly recommended, invaluable, cost effective 'core' title for all aspiring authors seeking to self publish; small presses operating on a shoestring or no- string promotional budget, speciality, academic and regional presses seeking to operate profitably, and authors with books by major publishers but unsatisfied with their promotional efforts.
Jim Cox, Internet Book Watch
