Well from O'Reilly's point of view you certainly are going around the process, they have somewhere that they want you to start with to reach them, and you want to go contact an insider instead. I have no idea how specifical employees there will feel about it though. > I as asking because, yeah, I can also figure that chromatic and > Rael are editors there, but I am, indeed, concerned about > bugging them out of the blue. Enough said. You might try contacting any O'Reilly author instead to get feedback/a better idea who might be sympathetic. > You must have missed Brian's talk of 'bribing' two weeks ago -- > I am not going that far (yet!) =) I definitely did miss that talk. Remember, I'm only possibly going to move to Boston, right now I'm in Santa Monica. > PS: given how friendly the ppl at Pearson/AW seem to be, > O'Reilly must really be under a deluge of proposals like Uri > noted! Well, they certainly are popular. (Authors know that any given title is likely to sell a lot better if it is published by O'Reilly than it will when published by someone else.)
