I found that THE ABC’S OF POD was an educational lesson, exploring various sides of POD publishing and I would highly recommend this book to any writer in that final stage of deciding which way to go, trad, or POD. The cost in purchasing this informative book may just save you quite a few bucks in the long run if you decided to go with POD just to find out this was not the road you wanted to pursue. ~ Lea Schizas, Apolloslyre.com & Museitup

This is just what the hopeful author...needs. Eighty-plus pages of straight talk designed to educate and inform authors BEFORE they decide to hire... Bailee takes authors by the hand through the process of POD. She explains authors' rights, the concept of royalties, fees and contracts, and tackles the reality of book promotion and sales. ~ Patricia Fry, SPAWN President

The "ABC's Of POD" by POD Expert Dehanna Bailee is an ideal introduction ... If you are an aspiring author wanting to self-publish, then give a careful reading to Dehanna Bailee's The ABC's Of POD. ~ Jim Cox, Midwest Book Review

The ABC's of POD .. is exactly that. The presentation is simple and direct. It's grounded in her own experience and although lacking in the detail of say Poynter's Self-Publishing Manual ... the ABC's will give you the basics of self-publishing. I particularly like her emphasis on editing! And her chapters on the real costs of POD and figuring royalties are excellent! ~ Anne Wayman, Guide to Freelance Writing at About.com

In this primer for writers new to POD fee-based publishing, Dehanna Bailee lays out all the basics in a concise manner. Recommended for those considering this form of book publishing, who need information about the basics. ~ Sarah Mankowski, WordThunder.com, PodInfo.com
