Contrary to the title, this book is not about “writing” a best-seller at all. Instead, it tells you how the author published his book using on-demand publishing and how he marketed it to sell copies. Unfortunately, the writing is amateurish and most of it reads like a commercial for the book he’s still trying to push. The meat of the book (5 chapters’ worth) takes up only the first 30 pages; the rest is a “glossary” of odds and ends including reviews of the author’s book and — for some unexplained reason — the results produced when he did a search for the title online.
If you’ve already written a book and are interested in publishing and marketing it at your own expense, then this book might help you the tiniest bit. If you need help fitting the writing process into a busy life, don’t waste your time and money here.

Fun and practical!
Excellent source of information and humorous insights that independently published authors will find valuable.

This book is a scam, a perfect example how the self-publishing industry can be discredited.
It is not worth its money.
The author takes pride that it wrote it in two weeks back in 2001 and the quality is similar.
Out of the 121 pages of the book, only 31 are written by the author, the remaining are downloaded pages from internet and exerpts from his new book.
I felt betrayed from buying this book and I would suggest Amazon should not promote this kind of books.

I enjoyed the book for what it is and nothing more. It shows alternative ways to get published and keep your writing dream alive.
