Last week Alan Canton, the President of Adams-Blake Company, Inc., checked out Be The Media's booth at Book Expo America 2008 in Los Angeles.
Alan's company is the creator of the popular software Jaya123, an application that simplifies many tasks for small businesses.
He has been updating his blog weekly for 10 years on issues related to book publishing, the software industry, and small businesses.
On June 4, Adam posted a 'BEA Diary' on his blog, A Saturday Rant, in which he selected some booths from the show and wrote a short review on what he saw.
It appears as though he found something that he liked at Be The Media. His entry is below:
"If celebrity testimonials can make a book into a bestseller then Be The Media should be huge. This author/publisher has done his homework and I predict this will sell very well. The book was badly designed but they say they are going to re-do it before the final print run. No one in their right mind would print a 300+ page book in a san-serif typeface!"
The galley that Alan saw at BEA was an "uncorrected proof" intended only for reviewers and the press. For those of you reviewing the galleys, the final version of the book will include:
* Index
* Introduction
* Syndication chapter
* High resolution images, graphics, and illustrations
* And of course, a larger, serif font for the interior text
The publication date for the final version of Be The Media will be September 1st, 2008.
If there are any bloggers or members of the press interested in reviewing the galley, please send us an email here.
To learn how to create your own blog
see chapter 1 of BE THE MEDIA:
I saw your site and wanted to mention a couple good sites for intellectual property research:
http://www.FreePatentsOnline.com
http://www.SumoBrain.com
These sites provide free patent searching, along with free PDF downloading (bulk downloads possible on SumoBrain), annotating and sharing documents with other users, free alerts for new documents, and more.
If you have a spot, a link to let your users know about the site would be excellent.
