NOTE FOR MARKETERS: We’re all book publishing professionals and have lots of content to share, but this is not the place to promote your services or next book. This is the place to ask your peers’ advice and share your experiences and resources. Content that is auto-posted, does not contain a relevant question, is solicitation, SPAM or a sales pitch, and will be deleted immediately. 2) Be curious with your fellow group members. This means respecting opinions (cordial disagreement is fine), refraining from rude or violent language, and not soliciting group members. Violation of this rule will result in automatic removal from the group. 3) Please do not be “spammy" with posts. This means posting the same post multiple times or posting articles without commentary. Please be sure to point out something interesting from the article when you post.

What if a book wasn’t just something you read—but a place you entered? That’s the premise behind Hungry Minds’ immersive Soho pop-up, where their flagship title The Book: The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding Civilization is brought to life in full sensory detail. Step into the jewel-toned space and you’ll find antique oddities, steampunk fixtures, botanical installations—and floor-to-ceiling displays of just one book. Created by two Burning Man veterans, this isn’t just indie publishing—it’s worldbuilding. With over 300,000 copies sold, The Book is now a bookstore, a design experiment, and a cultural statement rolled into one. 🔗 Read the full story via Publishers Weekly: https://lnkd.in/e4GNbcPA #IndiePublishing #BookMarketing
