About this audiobook
This essay on self-publishing explains what a vanity press is and how it differs from a service provider. It shows you how to recognise when you're dealing with a vanity press and why letting them handle your books might not be a good idea. But it also explains why certain people will continue to be attracted to the services they offer.
