-- Review for Purple Snowflake Marketing --

I am currently working on the manuscript for the revised and updated version of our book, Purple Snowflake Marketing. This new edition is due to be released in Feb 2009. Today, I had the unexpected honor of being sent this amazing review of the original edition of the book (currently available as an e-book):

"I bought the Brummet's book "Purple Snowflake Marketing - How to Make Your Book Stand Out in a Crowd" along with three other so-called marketing books. This book is by far the best book on marketing. It is concisely written for the amateur as well as the professional. As a person who made a living writing corporate publicity for some of the world's largest companies, I thought I would not glean much in the way of useful and realistic information from a marketing book. I was wrong! The Brummet's book is a stand-out on the crowded shelf of how-to books about marketing. "

-- Quote of the Day --

Because of this new review that came in this morning, I decided to follow this up on the blog with a quote of the day from an interview we had on Conscious Discussions with Shirley Roe - owner of the All Book Reviews company...

“…Authors: please remember that a review is simply the opinion of the reviewer, if you do get a negative review, please take it as constructive criticism; use it, go forward, continue your craft… do not become discouraged. A review is only an opinion.”
~ Shirley Roe 02/19/08

To access this incredibly informative discussion on how to get book reviews, the etiquette involved, what to do with the review once it is written and more - visit the Conscious Discussions website and find the archives listed under the links on the right hand side of that site. Click on the hyper-linked show title here in today's blog post, or look to the right of this screen and click on the link there for the radio program - either or these will get you there. :)
