Readers of The Independent Publishing Magazine will know that we don't do many book reviews here. In fact, over a period of five years, I think we have reviewed less than six books, and two of those reviews were editions of Mark Levine's Fine Print of Self-Publishing. Revealing this will probably alert readers of TIPM to the fact that we only review books within the business/education genre--specifically books on the business of publishing, the publishing industry, and, of course, self-publishing--and there is a shortage of really good books in this area. Take note; I said really good ones!In reality, there is actually an abundance of books about self-publishing and e-book publishing--some written by freewheeling marketers out to make a quick few dollars; many others are self-published, and are perfect examples of how not to self-publish! With so many changes in the industry, it is understandable that mainstream publishers have been reluctant to release books about the industry containing any definitive blueprints as to where the future lies.Kelvin Smith's The Publishing Business: From p-books to e-books, the first book published in AVA's Creative Careers series, makes no bold prophecies of the future, but, instead, seeks to bridge the gap for creative graduates between education and a first job in the industry. However, after reading the book, I couldn't help feeling that the book would be more suitable as a general accompaniment to a graduate or post-graduate course, rather than a book suitable for those making the step into the industry. Kelvin Smith does a fine job by including discussion questions at the end of each of the seven chapters, and many of those questions lead seamlessly to the next chapter.
