Title: Out of date
Product review: I bought this - fortunately secondhand and cheap- based on the reviews here. It is not worth it. The copy I received had 'discard' stamped on the second page!! Good advice. Most of the info here you can find on the Net. Its biggest problem is that this is a book that was written long ago and then 'sort of' updated.... badly - ironic in a book that is giving non-fiction authors advice about how to get published!! It contains the lines 'if you have typewriter or computer handy', a section titled 'E-queries - a High-Tech approach to book proposals' and blatantly bad advice in suggesting that you send your sample chapters as email attachments. With so many viruses these days, it would go in the trash unread.There's a few things useful to absolute newbies, but for advice to budding NF authors look elsewhere.
