    Was it very bad?

    No it wasn’t awful but I didn’t like it and would not have considered buying it. Actually I admire him for having the guts to self-publish and get out there and market it. I also dislike him for doing the hard sell on me! But as usual self-loathing is the main outcome!

    Hmm … this may be an argument against you trying the self-publishing route yourself. Unless you fork out for marketing staff.

    That’s true. I am hopeless at self-promotion and that seems to be a vital skill in self-publishing. Mind you, not one of my 3 conventionally published books is in any physical bookshop.
