re: #241 centaur

It’s never been easier to simply get published. I mean not just on the web, but practically anyone can get an ISBN and a book in print these days. I work in publishing. Now, getting published by one of the “big houses” is indeed difficult; some have basically stopped commissioning. But I agree, it depends on what Mr. Totten is shooting for, but I have a hard understanding how someone with his resume would not get an advance from even a mid-sized publisher.

Love his work, and I’ll buy the book and do that much to help out his royalties, though $1000 is laughable.

Yeah, if you self-publish, and have your book printed on an “as needed” basis. I’m not talking about that, though Totten did say he would go that route, if need be. Obviously, it’s not the preferred avenue, especially for a book that’s taken the kind of work, commitment and risk that his has entailed.
