This book is packed with info, from the book trade and its history, to getting a book published, the rise of self-publishing, the growth in audio books, Amazon's business model compared to that of other traditional publishers, and the differences between children's and academic publishing.
It's written in a Q&A style, but the ordering of questions doesn't always seem to flow. And it doesn't lend itself to being read from beginning to end since there's a lot of repetition/not always much continuity. I think it's written so that you can jump into any question in isolation.
