A Book Needs More than Oprah
February 23rd, 2006 |Authors believe that going on Oprah is the ultimate thing to do for a book. Being an Oprah Book Club selection, no doubt, leads to a best seller.

Book Stores Hurting
February 14th, 2006 |Internet leads to bookstores’ demise isn’t a surprise, but bookstores are still valuable. Most likely, the mom and pop stores are the biggest hit. A popular children’s book store in Plano closed recently after many years of service and entertaining kids. Tis a shame. Meryl is sick, so she’s not posting much. From the sponsor: Hair transplant [...]

Book Fact-Checking
February 1st, 2006 |It’s no surprise we’re hearing a lot about Fact-Checking thanks to the book making big news (I need not name it and its author).

Selecting the Perfect Book Title
January 10th, 2006 |Lulu.com did a study of book titles and determined what makes a good title. The company looked at every title of nonfiction and fiction books from 1955 to 2004 and analyzed what works. But of course, the title doesn’t guarantee failure or success since the analysis says The DaVinci Code is considered less likely to [...]

Connect with Your Favorite Authors
January 9th, 2006 |I’m a member of an online book club and one of the neatest things — though I don’t participate — is the conference call with the author of the book we’re reading. Turns out our book club leader wasn’t one of the few who came up with the great idea as according to USA Today, [...]

Power of Personal Accountability
December 29th, 2005 |New Year resolutions… whether or not you make ‘em or believe in ‘em, here’s one book that can help you improve your life. It has worked for many others and me.

Business Blogging Book
December 23rd, 2005 |Successful blogger, Robert Scoble, and co-author Shel Israel, push businesses to blog and explain why it would benefit them.
