Self-help for the author in you

Article Abstract:

It is possible to write and publish a book using modern technology and this is shown by the case of a book on Africa. The cost was just over 2,000 pounds sterling, and standard software can be used. Photographs can be reproduced with a scanner, and Intype, a company in London, England, can carry out this service. An international standardised book number (IBSN) can be obtained for free. Reviews, promotion and distribution are needed for a book to be a commercial success, and agents and publishers can help in this area, but there is no need to make a book a commercial venture.
