Best Sellers: Legends of Immortality

Jerrold R. Jenkins. Rhodes and Easton, $21.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-9649401-1-6

As a book producer for independent presses and the publisher of Small Press magazine, Jerrold Jenkins has plenty of experience with small-press publishing. In Inside the Bestsellers, Jenkins (with the help of Mardi Link) looks at what takes a small-press or self-published book into the big time. Through interviews with 18 authors, such as Ken Blanchard (The One Minute Manager), Betty Eadie (Embraced by the Light), H. Jackson Brown (Life's Little Instruction Book), Richard Paul Evans (The Christmas Box) and James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy), Jenkins shows how writers turned frustrated quests for information, gifts to family members or life-altering personal experiences into bestselling books.
