This book is an anthology of reviews from Bad Book Week, published at http://BookMakingBlog.blogspot.com, plus additional material.

Although it has become relatively easy to self-publish, it’s also easy to make serious mistakes in writing, design and marketing that can seriously limit the acceptability and sales of a self-published book.

While there is great satisfaction in seeing your name on the cover of a book, it's important that you write what other people will want to read, and that they’ll like what you write.

It’s sad—and funny—that some of the worst self-published books, and the majority of the books reviewed in this book, are books that try to provide advice to other authors.

This book will help you avoid the worst mistakes of others, so you can publish a book that you can be justifiably proud of—and perhaps enlighten, entertain and inform others. Maybe you'll even make some money.
