As a book reviewer, I pride myself on the speed with which I can read a book - not this one. It took me HOURS to read. Why? Because I had to stop every couple of pages, dial up the internet and visit links that were so pertinent to my career that I could not wait till I had finished the book.
I am not exaggerating. Every new topic combines invaluable advice and really clever tips with absolutely awesome links. ...Practical Tips for Online Authors is worth its weight in gold.
