Dear Clint,

I would like to respond this in two cats:
1 If you are an independent publisher
2 If you are approaching a publisher of repute.

For self publishing, it depend eds, which cat is your title. Trade books, Academic, General book.Fiction and non -fiction etc.
Is this your FIRST book?
I suggest you join an association in your location.( Booksellers/Publishers?/etc)
Start with a MAILER
The promote the same with e-mailing. ( offer a pre publication offer of 10% discount)
Contact all the retailers in your area and request them a poster space. and then a display space.
Join a Book club- request them to Discuss about the book on a week end.
Send few FREE copies to News papers, Magazines who feature NEW book information.
Send mailers to all libraries via mailer.
Have enough budget for a “release” function in a good hall, invite about 500 persons, SELL the book at a discount!
However, if you are offering the book to any publishers they will assit you in promoting the same.
Now a days globally it is all author backed promotion.

All the best!

(the site features flickr photos, has a link to post #whatis230 to twitter and a facebook group which currently has only 370 members and 50 wall posts – if they knew what they were doing it would have been a fan page)

A blog

whatis230.blogspot.com
It says info will be available Tuesday morning at

gm-volt.com

There was a similar projection on Market St

And the message wasn’t even clear. It was supposed to be what is 230?

But I didn’t read it that way. I found the site by typing 23 Plug 8-11 into google.

The smiley faced plug doesn’t read as a zero to me.

At least google made some (taxpayer) money on it since I clicked on GM’s sponsored link.

This screenshot was on the main What is 230? site most of Saturday (and is still up on Sunday)
