SOME COMMENTS FROM PUBLISHERS, ATTORNEYS AND FELLOW AUTHORS ..
"What can I say? You are brilliant! I won't get into all the evidence I have for that right now, but I'm convinced. And your book is a great service to self-publishing writers."

"One of the perks of working with so many writers is that I'm often privy to interesting, new information in the field of writing/publishing.
For example, a few weeks ago a delightful author contacted me asking if I'd like to read his latest book. After he described the project briefly (along with providing a link to his incredible website) I replied, "Sure!"
What began as quiet afternoon soon turned into one of the most interesting reads I've had in a very long time.
This book (as near as I can figure) will soon become one of the premier resources for any writer who's intrigued by the recent POD (Print on Demand) phenomena.
The book?
Why, it's Mark Levine's "The Fine Print"... a 300+ jam-packed full of information that any potential author considering the POD option absolutely needs to have before he/she contacts any POD firm.
"The Fine Print" examines 74 POD publishers, ranking each according to various criteria such as contracts, fees, and such. It also provides not only an overview of each company, but it also provides in-depth info on each company as well.
"The Fine Print" is a font of information that any prospective POD author needs to examine before they plunge into this new field of publishing. You can find more information on "The Fine Print" at this web site: http://www.book-publishers-compared.com.
It's a great book.

| "The Fine Print, a highly useful resource for authors, describes in detail the primary legal terms used in epublisher/POD contracts. Such critical information could save you big time when evaluating which publisher to choose to publish your manuscript and avoid any potential problems or regrets.
In Section Two, Levine rips apart an extensive list of epublisher and POD contracts. If I were an epublisher on the list, I would listen to his advice and reconsider any unreasonable contract terms such 'all rights whatsoever'. Once low rated epublishers see their rating in the book, they may be motivated to change their contracts for the better.
I can't say enough about how useful this book is and I would highly recommend it to authors looking to publish with an epublisher or through POD. The Fine Print is definitely going on my Top 5 Recommended List for Writers and is destined to remain there for quite some time."

| "As writers, we want to see our work published-online and in print, in magazines and books. Maybe the ultimate test, as a writer, is to write and publish our own books. With today's publishing possibilities, writers have a wide variety of choices to publish their work but they need to be careful what publishing houses they choose, especially when it comes to print-on-demand and electronic publishing.
There are too many "predators" out there, ready to take our money and then wait for us to do their work. When it comes to publishing, knowing how to read and understand a contract can help us choose just the right publisher, which, in turn, can make it easier for us to promote and sell our books. When it comes to publishing-related resources and clear, honest and in-depth information and advice, Mark Levine's "The Fine Print" is a must-have reference book for anybody who thinks of trying out print-on-demand or electronic publishing. "The Fine Print" teaches us how not to fall into the traps of so many publishing contracts and to choose the publisher that is perfect for us and for our book.
"The Fine Print" is every writer's manual to today's self-publishing world. Reading it and, even more, studying it carefully, while trying to understand and learn from it, can be the defining factor in our becoming successful authors. "The Fine Print" is an eye-opening book for aspiring writers who want to publish their first book and "test" the markets as much as for those who want to steer away from the traditional publishing industry.
Putting his skills--as a lawyer and self-published author--to work, Mark Levine, J.D. presents us with a priceless collection of print-on-demand and electronic publishing resources while explaining, for each of the examples he uses, the pros and cons, his own honest opinion and advice. Even more, through "The Fine Print" the author becomes our personal advisor in legal matters regarding book contracts and... the fine print (the stuff so many of us don't usually read. With the author's help, we learn to read and understand the legal language and terms, especially when he explains them in plain English.
After reading "The Fine Print" we look at POD and electronic publishing with brand new eyes. We learn how to understand contracts and how to choose just the right publisher for our book... and make it a successful book."
