Book Publishing

Since past few months idea of publishing a book has been doing rounds. Now being an septagenarian myself, I know the old style way of doing this .. finding a good publisher and find someone to finance the whole process and take the risk of having 5000 copies with a hope that they will be sold eventually.

And then i come across this fantastic post by David Maister on Self Publishing . He is already a distinguished author of best seller books. He has pointed some excellent starters for achieving this in Internet age.

1) http://www.lulu.com/
2) Getting listed on Amazon

I am collecting all the bits and peices together. and will be looking forward to Davids experiences (He is always so generous with sharing his thoughts )

It has been a long time i had been working on paintings and have evolved a style of my works esp horses and landscapes. Internet and webpages are good for sharing small ideas and events but if you want to tell a 70+ years long story, you need a book. Neat and Tidy compilation of all the works i have done and the evolution of thought process that binds them together.

Lets see how it goes.
