	Also check with the resident writers here, especially Taljechin as I think he published his own book, so he has done it before.

	If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

	Well I know a little about marketing, though not about books. What he has to decide is to which kind of shops his books should go to and what way of advertising he needs. It would help to know what kind of book it is, for opening books I would choose a different strategy than for a book about a correspondence chess.

	Hi, I have a friend who has recently published his first chess book. 8) It has been positively reviewed, and his publishers want him to come up with a "national plan of distribution". 8) He doesn't have an agent, and asked me if I had any ideas. ??? I have no experience with this side of publishing, so I am asking for help. Thanks!
