I read all of these dialogues on Konrath's blog and it makes for a great combination of industry analysis, humor, and somewhat NSFW links to videos of monkeys interacting with their environment which the authors use to good effect.Be the monkey.  I suspect this phrase will eventually make its way into popular slang, with most people having no idea where/when it originated.  Be the monkey.The authors crunch numbers, discuss current events in publishing, and make a good case for the independent route and avoiding the traditional gatekeeper publishing houses.  At the current list price, its absurd to hesitate for a second.  Buy the ebook, read and learn.I think it would also be of interest to readers who just love literature and want to keep up with the industry and events transpiring in the background.I don't think Amazon will retain the URL to JA Konrath's blog "A Newbies Guide to Publishing", if I post it here, but its undoubtedly in the book and you can probably find it through Google in under half a minute if you copy the quoted section above.  I strongly recommend both the book and the blog.
