Some publishers have been interested in taking the book, but after some thinking I've resisted the temptation because:
- I can price the books how I want .. this is important especially for the ebook which I want to be as cheap and accessible as possible. Some publishers will increase the ebook price by an order of magnitude!
- I can update the books to fix errors, and have the updated book ready for people to buy within hours, and usually within 24 hours.
- As an author who has spent lots of my own time and effort on this, I get a much fairer deal with Amazon than with traditional publishers.
However, I have agreed to other language translations of the book to be handled by publishers. So far, the book is on course to be published in:
- German
- Chinese
- Russian
- Japanese
- Korean
I love the "traditional animal" that O'Reilly have done for the German version:
I'm looking forward to more translations - personally I wish there was a Spanish and Italian one too.
