publishing and books

Tony Caputo has taken his years of experience as a major comic book publisher and created a guide that is indispensable for publishers of any size. The book offers guidance in getting started and takes you through every step in the process. It is well organized and well written. It covers printing, distribution, and marketing as well as contracts and budgets. It was the primary reference work I used (and continue to use) when starting my own publishing business. I recommend it to anyone in the comic book business, and also to comic book readers who are interested in looking behind the scenes. Edward DeGeorge, Publisher, October Comics.

I've been on both sides of a comic book... the buying side and the publishing side, and I can tell you for fact, that there is no where else to obtain the information in this book without working for years on staff of a major publisher.

It covers the creation process, the printing process and even distribution.

If you are a future comic book creator you're going to want to have this reference tool on your book shelf. Even if you never self publish a title, there is plenty of behind-the-scenes insight.

This book is worth getting just for the comic book resouce listings it contains.
