If you have a question you have always wondered about chances are you can find the answer here. It's a fun, fascinating book with short sections that make it quick and easy to read as well.

Today we are recommending How to Promote Your Book by Dr. Jan Yager. If you are self-publishing a book, you are definitely going to want this comprehensive compendium. It explains everything you need to know about how to go about publicizing your book. It covers promotion basics as well as what you should do before publication and what you should do after publication. It includes information on how to set up a timeline, how to design a press kit, how to contact potential reviewers and so much more. It's extensive index includes important additional information as well including email management programs, lists of book fairs in the U.S. and around the world, online sites where you can sell your books, and so much more.

Today we are talking about Fioretta. This film is a documentary that covers lawyer and genealogist, Randy Schoenberg and his son, Joey's journey to Vienna, Prague, and Venice to trace their family history back 500 years. While the film is fascinating especially if you are interested in history, particularly Jewish history and/or genealogy, it is a little long and if you are not into these things you will probably find it tedious. 

Fioretta is currently in limited release in California and will be available digitally shortly.

And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
