:jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: Yesterday, the author's copies of my book arrived and it was awesome to hold them in my hand :-) The back-cover has 4 testimonials, 2 of them by CPians - CG and Jambo Johnson. There were times during writing it where I felt exhausted and wondered if I would ever finish it - but to actually hold a physical copy of the book, with that new-book smell was truly an amazing feeling. :cool: Thank you all!

Congratulations. What I suggest you do is sign them and post them on eBay. Of course for them to be really worth a lot, Smitha would have to axe you. :-D

Yeah, Manning's been pretty good. Most of their books were Java-focused till now, but in the last year or so, they've been moving to Microsoft technology books too.

None that I know of :-) The publisher decides all pricing related stuff.

Have you ever considered penning a tome? With your experience in declarative programming, you would be an excellent choice for advocating the benefits.

I actually started the process with a publisher once. A couple months into the process I realized I had made too many compromises in order to satisfy the publisher with what they thought (based on reviewers of the proposal) would be a marketable book. Then my editor moved to another location and I got another editor, but neither editor was what I expected (expectations can kill good ideas as well). I had originally wanted to write about automation frameworks, and it devolved into a series of chapters on different programming methodologies like XP, Agile, etc., all of which I was too negative about, and didn't (and still don't) have enough real world experience with. I ultimatey dropped the project and decided that self-publishing (for example, an e-book) would be more in line with my goals. That way, I can write about what I want to write about, and not what the publisher thinks the masses expect and the stores will put on shelves--mostly lightweight beginner crap. Marc

Out of curiosity, what level of royalties do you get for writing tech books? I know for fiction the standard's 8% on mass market PBs, and 10-15% (scaled with sales volume) on trade paperbacks and hard cover titles. Breakeven levels for the publisher fall around a 10k print run of mmpbs or 5k for hardbacks with a 65% sell through level (percentage of books actually sold as opposed to shipped to the store and either returned or destroyed unsold, or left gathering dust in someones warehouse).
