The multiple editions of the work reflect a desire to keep on track with the publishing industry as it develops in order to provide the most beneficial and important information to readers. Levine’s insight is elucidating and necessary, explaining the ins and outs and the good, the bad, and the ugly of self-publishing. Overall, Mark Levine’s The Fine Print of Self-Publishing is a priceless primer for authors and those interested in the industry regarding self-publishing.
