"When the first University of Denver Publishing Institute came to a dose in August 1976, all of us involved in its launching knew that we had a real success on our hands. And we knew it was due in great measure to an outstanding faculty of more than forty top publishing executives who had come to Denver during those four weeks to teach our students. How regrettable, it seemed, that their knowledge and expertise were available only to the eighty students handpicked for that first class. Fred Praeger, publisher of Westview Press, suggested a solution. ""Do a book,"" he invited, ""and let Westview publish the curriculum for others to share."""

This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll. Lib., Fredericksburg, Va. -Library Journal.

This is an easy-to-read volume that shows just how any writer can become the published author of his or her own book. Using information from her own experiences, the author of Publish Your Own Book shows the reader how to: copyright a book and get the Library of Congress number, work with a printer, choose and eye-catching cover, determine a profitable cover price, get free publicity, promote the book on radio and television, work with a co-author (if desired), get the book reviewed in major newspapers, sell through the mail, sell through distributors, and much more. Getting a book accepted and published today by one of the major publishing houses is difficult, and for many excellent writers, nearly impossible. For that reason, hundreds of authors are choosing to self-publish their own books. This book shows how to do just that.
