This is a delightful and encouraging book. The
stories prove that making it to the top of the charts has little to do
with luck and a lot to do with tenacity, determination and work. Jenkins
and Link reveal the stories behind the headlines of 18 best-selling
books. (And 80% of these best-selling books were originally
self-published.) This book will edify and delight every author,
publisher, book promoter and bookseller."
