Tooting My Horn


This is what Shannon Yarbrough at Lulu Book Review had to say about my fourth iUniverse book. I cannot thank you enough for the kind words, Shannon!

Although our “Search for America” ended last month, I’d like to revisit it for a moment to tell readers about another book. Although this blog is devoted strictly to books published through Lulu, this particular book was not. However, it is still a POD title, and its author runs another POD review site that has been in existence for over two years. This will probably be one of the few times I mention a non-Lulu book, but since he is a fellow POD reviewer and blogger, I feel the need to point out his book only because I was extremely impressed by it.

I am speaking of Timeline of America, written by Floyd M. Orr who is chief of the PODBRAM review site. His book was published through iUniverse, which was the main self-publishing company he focused on reviewing books for until earlier this year.

His book is a fun romp through American history and pop culture, complete with pop quizzes at the very end, and filled with fun facts that chances are you never got out of a grade school history classroom. I won’t spend too much time reviewing it here, but instead invite you to check out his book at Amazon and read my review of it there.

Kudos to Mr. Orr for a brilliant book that I sincerely believe deserves the attention of a traditional publishing company!

You are most welcome!

I've been tempted to pass the book on to someone else, as I often like to give books away, particularly POD books since the best marketing tool for books is word of mouth.

BUT, I've been going back to it again and again and am still having fun reading it. I may have to just keep it as a reference for myself and add it to my permanent collection. (Sorry!)

But I did my duty and passed out your bookmarks and pens to friends and coworkers! May you sell a million copies....or 1,000....or 100....or even 1. It is indeed a book worth buying!

Best of luck,
Shannon
