Marketing advice - Paid Advertising
///////////////////////////////
Some newspapers may still have “personal” columns which are usually widely read. Sunday editions are the most popular. They are usually sold on a “per word” basis and are more reasonable than the display type advertising. Depending on the type of book you publish, this can be an effective avenue.
///////////////////////////////
Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
Though it is real easy, don't fall into a "parent trap". While getting oral history including stories, dates, relations is an invaluable tool for the beginning genealogist (indeed, a great book starting activity), always take the time to obtain records for all information gained in this manner. This record search can be something you do with the relative providing the information or independently.

Computer aid!?!
Software: Microsoft products
///////////////////////////////
Don't discount the Microsoft website as a source for help and extra goodies.
Almost every software program section can be accessed directly by adding a "/" and the software name such as
http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage - (Provided as example - FrontPage is not a current software program, so link doesn't work)
