An interesting book about producing and distributing your own book. It covers how to design a book and then looks at getting it printed - POD (print on demand), going through a publisher and even some instructions on making your own books. There is a lot of great information in this book, and most of it is set out clearly. Occasionally it can be a bit too 'hipster/indie' for its own good, but if you are a beginner to the world of how books are made, this would be a good place to start finding out the basics. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Overall, my recommendation would be to skim this book at the library and don’t buy it. It might be inspirational to you, and it might spur you to invest more than you had planned to design an attractive book, and that’s great. It could lift the quality of self-publishing to some extent. But you’ll be spending the cover price on content that you don’t need and pretty pictures.
