I have to admit I did not read the description but what a great book to accidentally buy!While it is a parody on many self-publishing books on the market Russell Blake's examples illustrate what not to do better than many real books I've seen. Anyone who reads this and thinks he is recommending following any of the advice he is giving has missed the point of the book. He is no more seriously suggesting plagiarism then he is dating a celeb to sell your book or buy book reviews... The book is a spoof. A well done one. The laughter disturbed my cat a few times (woke her up... see tip from book... kitties). I'll be lending this to my husband and buying as a gift for a few writer friends. I think some of the books to help newbie authors have value but this book is a great balance reminding authors not to take themselves too seriously and to think about the advice they are getting. Is the advice useful/doable/repeatable? Buy this book. You won't regret it.
