Mark Christopher reveals the "state of affairs" with inventors and their invention--most inventors, as it turns out, are simply fleeced of money by services that are supposed to help them. In fact, Christopher places this information in his book, `Get on the Shelf' right on the first page--indicating the urgent need for inventors to take charge of their own work and derive reasonable profit from it.Of course, this isn't a book to help you invent things. Instead, it speaks to existing or aspiring inventors out there to know, for example, how to properly go about taking care of their invention--from protecting it from thieves to successfully marketing it. Mark Christopher relates his advices from a personal perspective--it appears he has done it all and is eager to help out others so that they may avoid the pitfalls.The book, `Get on the Shelf' therefore is a means to bring back the power in the hands of the inventor--what they can do with their invention, how they can sell it, and how their efforts can bring about a well-deserved compensation. The fact of the matter is simple: an invention--a new device, a new way of implementing or doing things, or a rethinking of old methods for efficiency's sake--can be worth a lot of money. Millions of dollars, in fact. But a good invention can be throwing pearls before swine if the inventor has no idea how to publicize, market or derive profit from it. If you fit this bill, or if you know anyone who does, it takes less than a dollar to get the vital enlightenment: buy this book and maybe the inventor you empower today can save lives tomorrow.
