The survey presents data from 50 public libraries, predominantly in the USA but also from Canada and Australia, about their library policies on sales to the public of excess and donated books, DVDSs, audiobooks and other forms of intellectual property. The study presents highly detailed data on revenues garnered, prices charged, venues sold through, sources of revenue, and many other factors in library materials sales. The study helps library planners to answer questions such as: how much do libraries earn by selling books online? What percentage of library book sales are accounted for by Friends of the Library and similar groups? What are total revenues through all sales of intellectual property by libraries and what is the trend in revenues? How many book donations do libraries receive each year? How many DVDs? How many of these do they keep for their own collection and how many do they manage to sell? What are the best-selling genres?

Book publishers have long used free content as part of their marketing and selling efforts, with the vast majority of free content distributed in printed form. Digital distribution of free material, either intentional or via unauthorized availability through peer-to-peer sites and other Web outlets, offers a fast and expansive connection to consumers, but content can also be copied and disseminated without publishers' control. Some publishers are torn between the efficiencies digital distribution provides and concerns over piracy and print-sale cannibalization. This research report is part of an ongoing effort by O'Reilly Media Inc. and Random House to test assumptions about free distribution, P2P availability and their potential impact on book sales.

Why Does it Seem Everyone Thinks Beginning Authors are Already Rich? It's not because their books are bringing them any income. But the courses and services designed to ""help"" you just put you further in the hole! It doesn't have to be that way. This entire series was written with the idea that you can get started from the computer and internet connection you already have. And nothing else. After I got my own financial freedom from publishing books, I was able to ""invest"" in some of these courses to see what I was still missing. Funny enough, that extra $500 per course taught me little I didn't already know. And what I did learn was either wrong, or I could have learned it for free from those same authors. Here's the secret, exposed: You only have to write decent books, and market them decently, to get decent income. And you should be able to start writing today, self-edit and proof when you're done, then self-publish for no more than your own sweat-equity. Get You Copy Now.

Once at a Writers conference, I was approached by a new author. She asked me, “How can I make my book a best seller?” I smiled. “First write a great book.” She answered quickly, “I’ve written a great book, how can I increase my book sales?” I could see she was sincere. “You must create interest and demand for your book through publicity and promotion. Publicity and promotion will drive book sales.” She frowned. “I don’t know where to begin?” The reality is you simply cannot depend on your publisher to help sell your book, nor do you need a million-dollar advertising budget.

Driving Book Sales is primer on every aspect of publicity, marketing, advertising and public relations in the real world and online.
