Authors Brad Bunnin and Peter Beren have written this guide with such style and clarity that you might find yourself reading it, rather than just consulting it. But that’s okay: you can’t help but feel empowered by having read such a thorough and, when appropriate, opinionated text. Consider, for instance, the book’s first chapter, "The Publishing Contract."
