Wouldn't it be sweet if you were in that super-cool circle of friends where it was guaranteed that David Sedaris, Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell or Arthur Bradford would write a funny, positive blurb for your book? Well you're probably not. But that doesn't mean that you still can't get nice quotes. Marilyn Henderson at Absolute Write tells you how. And like most things in life, you might as well try.
By the way, this is not related to book blurbs itself but in my brief quest to find information I came across a self-publishing company called Blurb that may be of interest.
