As someone who is an indie author and publisher, this book is ideal for me. It would have been good to have had a book like this about two years again when I started. The reality is that these sort of guides just weren't there then, and so this is a helpful guide to any indie author getting started or who just wants to check they are taking the right steps to promote their book.I found myself laughing and relating so well to many of the points raised in the book. "Yes, I experienced that too" I heard myself saying a number of times. For this reason, this is a recommendable book since it goes through all the best practices and pit falls I experienced.The only reason I shy from giving this a five star is that there was nothing revolutionary new in the book. This book is exactly that, a "practical guide" which helps you understand what needs to be done to promote your book. The book is also very candid, admitting that there is no silver bullet, no way of knowing if activities such as social media and blogs will work for you. Yet if you are a hard working author who wants to cover all bases, then this book is the right one for you.
