Wecks looks at the traditional model for getting a printed book published, as well as the independent publishing path both before and after the emergence of the Internet as a content delivery platform. He presents the pros and cons from the author’s, reader’s, and publisher’s perspectives, so you’re likely to find this useful, regardless of which group you identify with.
