John Kremer's home might be nestled in Iowa cornfields, but his advice on book marketing comes straight from publishing's epicenter. 1001 Ways to Market Your Books is a tome of biblical proportion, a 700-page "organized potpourri" of useful ideas, examples, tips, and suggestions. You name it, Kremer covers it: publication scheduling, series and directory writing, attaining bestsellerdom, direct mail, cover design, offbeat advertising, online sales, alternative markets, and much (really!) more. He includes addresses and phone numbers, Web site addresses, and hundreds of marketing stories from authors and publishers. It is these stories that inspire one to think outside the box. One Canadian author changed his last name from Zimmerman to Cimmerman purely for bookstore-placement purposes. And Greg Godek, author of 1001 Ways to Be Romantic, performs a reverse shoplift. He sneaks copies of his books onto stores' shelves, figuring that if a copy sells, the store will order more. --Jane Steinberg

Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan Review

Stones To Schools is an amazing story of courage and commitment of a small Non-Governmental Organization born of a modest idea that has spread to the hearts of minds of people through out the world. What a great book recapping the struggles and the challenges of undertaking the daunting tasks of bring education to the people of Afgahanistan; A people deep in pride and religious conviction much different from our own but with the thirst for knowledge and words and the enlightenment that only through education can real peace be acheived. It is the story of mans devotion to his fellow man and a dream of helping people who desperately want help though lost in a sea of war and conflict that spans decades. It the story of war and inhumanity and the unabridged ignorance that fear of the unknown brings to established norms and the willingness of a people to overcome that fear; to face down that hatred at the risk of their own lives. I was disappointed in the delay in getting to the story of Afghanistan but understand that the author needed to set the stage for his quest over time.....Stones to School is a fitting tribute to the people of Afghanistan and to the wonderful support of poeple all over the world that embrace the concept that wiser souls and lives are won over to peace and prosperity through a collective effort to better ones minds through reaching out and helping to educate those around us! A must read that estanblishes the power of the mind! Well done Mortenson...Well Done!

Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan Overview

From the author of the #1 bestseller Three Cups of Tea, the continuing story of this determined humanitarian's efforts to promote peace through education

In this dramatic first-person narrative, Greg Mortenson picks up where Three Cups of Tea left off in 2003, recounting his relentless, ongoing efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan; his extensive work in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan after a massive earthquake hit the region in 2005; and the unique ways he has built relationships with Islamic clerics, militia commanders, and tribal leaders even as he was dodging shootouts with feuding Afghan warlords and surviving an eight-day armed abduction by the Taliban. He shares for the first time his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy, as well as touching on military matters, Islam, and women-all woven together with the many rich personal stories of the people who have been involved in this remarkable two-decade humanitarian effort.

Since the 2006 publication of Three Cups of Tea, Mortenson has traveled across the U.S. and the world to share his vision with hundreds of thousands of people. He has met with heads of state, top military officials, and leading politicians who all seek his advice and insight. The continued phenomenal success of Three Cups of Tea proves that there is an eager and committed audience for Mortenson's work and message.
