Merchants of Culture

Of all the books I've read on how to write, how to publish, how to find an agent, nothing has ever been as educational as this book.
I cannot even describe how much I have learned about the publishing industry from this one book. It is absolutley amazing.
Want to know how much it costs to have a book displayed at Barnes and Noble? Want to know how quickly Oprah can make a book a bestseller? Want to know what editors are really looking for? Wnat to know how to find an agent? This book is a treasure trove of information. I cannot recommend it enough.
Yes it's dense, but it's also fascinating. There are charts and graphs enough to break up all the text, but there is so much information and if you're even a little curious about how the publishing machine works this book will keep you interested.
 The paperback is now only $11 on Amazon. Buy it, read it, and educate yourself before you stumble blindly into writing.
