The Gold, Silver and Bronze winners, to be selected from among the finalists, will be announced at the Book Expo America in Chicago on June 4.

"I hope to help the small guys build a successful small business online. Together, they would re-create a realistic dot.com boom but without the previous hypes and excesses."

The Foreword Book of the Year Award was established by Foreword Magazine six years ago to give recognition to the literary achievements of independent publishers and their authors. A jury of librarians, booksellers, industry professionals and reviewers are selected to judge the books, and they select winners and finalists based on editorial excellence, intent of book met by author, originality of subject matter, accuracy, author credentials, and professional packaging.

Besides winning book award, Success with Online Retailing has also won accolades from established author and industry expert. Marcia Yudkin, author of eleven books and hundreds of magazine articles, syndicated columnist, public radio commentator and writing coach says the book is a "useful, detailed, comprehensive and well-written … guide to setting up an online store". She wrote in a book review: "This one-volume, easy-to-read introduction to selling your wares online ranges from strategy … to practicalities. … If you want a solid guide to setting up an online store, this covers everything you need to know to get started and make money at it. Well done!"

Mike Tarrani, Amazon’s Top 50 Reviewer and IT/E-Commerce consultant, said: "This book takes a no nonsense, straightforward, practical approach to developing and managing an online retail business. … If you read one book on online retailing I recommend that it is this one.
