Public domain is somewhere most of us have not gone, largely because we don't know where to start. Making Money From Old Books fills that gap well.The book reads easily and is well organized.  The author begins with some alluring possibilities in the public domain niche, then moves on to discuss where to find public domain books, prints, and art.  She spends the appropriate time discussing her own experiences in buying and finding these works, some roadblocks and speed bumps encountered , and what she's learned about the sourcing.Of course, those buying this book are usually interested in how to make money with public domain works, and Ms. Henio  gives several ways, including repurposing and repositioning books. That was one of the best chapters, and her links alone to sources and ancillary sites and software for title and content evaluation are worth the price of admission by themselves.This is a reference and how-to book. It's not about getting rich quick, but it clearly illuminates the path to profiting from public domain.Now for the best part. This book gave me an idea that I freaking LOVE, and I would never have considered it without Marianne Henio's direction! I'm already digging. Get the book--you'll learn a lot quickly and maybe you'll get a brainstorm too.
