One criticism: the authors and/or publisher of this book need to get a better graphic artist/designer to do their book covers.

APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur-How to Publish a Book. By Guy Kawasaki; Shawn Welch. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 947 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $24.99; digital list price $9.99; Kindle price now $0.99. Nononina Press. 410 pages. http://www.amazon.com/APE-Author-Pub...Publish+a+Book.

Book Description
This version of APE was updated with the most recent content, facts, figures, tools, and resources on March 5th, 2013. This is version 1.2 (Baldacci).

In 2011 the publisher of one of my books, Enchantment, could not fill an order for 500 ebook copies of the book. Because of this experience, I self-published my next book, What the Plus!, and learned first-hand that self-publishing is a complex, confusing, and idiosyncratic process. As Steve Jobs said, "There must be a better way."

With Shawn Welch, a tech wizard, I wrote APE to help people take control of their writing careers. APE's thesis is powerful yet simple: filling the roles of Author, Publisher and Entrepreneur yields results that rival traditional publishing. We call this "artisanal publishing"--that is, when writers who love their craft control the publishing process and produce high-quality books.

APE is 300 pages of step-by-step, tactical advice and practical inspiration. If you want a hype-filled, get-rich-quick book, you should look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you want a comprehensive and realistic guide to self-publishing, APE is the answer.
