Thanks for this very clear and informative video. At a time when many people think Blurb is the only and best way to produce a book, it is good to see someone aware of the advantages to collaborate with a local printer! Thanks for all the useful advices, Cheers from France, Jean

Thanks very much Sam, I appreciated this video. It was very well done, with great, clear explanations. I especially learned a lot from the segments on logistics and promotions.

First of all, thank you so very much for your clarity, use of words, and factual style. I have done technical presentations for a large part of my career as an engineer, and I can say that you definitely excel! Secondly and lastly, thanks for the encouragement. I'm an introvert overthinker, which, helas, has not helped me much with my newly born portrait photography business. Though my work is beyond just good, I have always had this reticence to showcase it. I guess I only need to shake off my fears and get out of the cave. Enjoyed your video and actually stayed all the way until the end.

Thnx, Sam! No need to look further, I'll just replay your video! I've been stuck for so long.....Whatever the future holds, your video has been inspiring...(PS: My work, including my website, is all over the net....Most of my "personal" work isn't.....Choosing which images, for a book, is my stumbling point, yikes!)

Brilliant video and packed full of great information. I'm working on a long term project at the moment and I hope to produce a small book from it, so this was a great video to watch. Sam's Mesozoic book is well worth picking up.

Hi - No disappointments in particular, just the realisation that it takes a long time to pack up the book and fill out the postal information etc!! Thanks for watching the video :) Sam

An even better question is how to create a photo ebook, which is fairly easy to do and will expose your works to a global audience. Both physical and digital editions go hand-in-hand and are essential for any artist’s career.

Perhaps rename this video to: How to turn an artist into a marketeer. No seriously, this is a well thought out and narrated video. But it angers me immensely being someone who doesn't care about money, someone who doesn't desire to produce advertisements, or push a product to other sellers and consumers, that my artistic journey is indelibly blemished by having to spend so much time marketing my product. But it's either that or sign with a leaching literary agent.
