Nice to know there's a dependable, important marketing component that's worth focusing on no matter what. I'm with you (and good words are going to spread FAST about your book--when can I get a copy???)Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001433214194860481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-58004814064008485412012-01-04T11:31:09.032-08:002012-01-04T11:31:09.032-08:00Thank you for one of the best New Years messages f...Thank you for one of the best New Years messages for the book business. These are great links. There is definitely value in self publishing... quality will always be in question. But, if you write a good book...people will tell others to read it. That's how I've been selecting my books of late. Recommendations. Yes, times are changing. It will be a fun and exciting New Year for sure.Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-47815408778933176902012-01-03T17:06:08.609-08:002012-01-03T17:06:08.609-08:00I love that point of view, Lin.

Makes you wonder what is savvy business, and what is monopoly. A bad analogy is when I try to call any utility or service company now, and I get that horrific "say your question" recording and hopefully get routed to a person after 10 or 15 minutes, when if I could have talked to a living creature, my question would have been answered in 5. Ultimately, perhaps I see a few bucks off my bill, but I think I'd rather have the personal bit.julie feddersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621537183935460781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-8450889724602847792012-01-02T16:56:48.515-08:002012-01-02T16:56:48.515-08:00Exactly, Em!Exactly, Em!Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001433214194860481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-64671005752358729482012-01-02T16:56:03.522-08:002012-01-02T16:56:03.522-08:00It is interesting stuff, isn't it, Susan?
