Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers

Why do we need a Grassroots Marketing book just for books? Because book marketing is actually pretty different than marketing other things. Some of these differences work to your advantage (for instance, since most people will buy multiple books on a subject they're interested in, you can partner-market with other authors/publishers in all sorts of creative ways)--and some make it more challenging (like the bizarre return policies and discount structures of the bookstore/wholesaler/distribution system). About 90 percent of this book is new and not included in the general Grassroots book; you may want to get both. Especially recommended if you have a book you want to market successfully, or you're thinking of writing one or are in the middle of writing one.
