A book on how to publish your book. But this is not by a publisher who wants to do it for you so it is independent unbiased advice. Mainly aimed at the very small scale selfpublisher.

How can I get my book published? That would be the most common question asked of us, and is also a very common question for those who work in libraries, bookshops and almost anywhere associated with the printed word. The truth is that few will gain the best seller lists, and many will do the rounds of the major publishers until their creators grow tired of the constant renewal of dog-eared pages and the slow return of rejection slips. But the truth is also that most books could be published using modern technology . Admittedly they would be published on a small scale, but that could also lead to the major success.

There have been many prominent self-publishers, but in the past it has been a struggle to raise large sums for printing. Now you can walk into a 'POD' (Publish On Demand) specialist with a manuscript on disk and emerge an hour or two later with a hundred copies of your book for a minimum outlay. Doing more of the process yourself, you can produce as few copies as you like of a book that will be impossible to distinguish from those output by large companies. You will have virtually nothing tied up in stock and will be able to put your effort into marketing.

How can this be done? All is explained in PUBLISH YOUR BOOK - a guide to self publishing, by Gordon Woolf. The author runs The Worsley Press, which has now published ten titles. It is therefore large enough to know the methods and problems, but small enough to be unworried by telling others the secrets of how you can do the same.
