USENIX pays their authors "real money" to write those books. When I wrote one back in 2003 they paid me $2,000; I have to believe they pay more now. They also pay the series editor and a copy editor; plus there are also several unpaid reviewers (per booklet). > I'll volunteer to do the legwork to take an edited book and get it through > the publishing hoops The hard part is getting an author to actually write the booklet. Even with the money it's still not easy to get people to write; if it were easy, USENIX would almost certainly have published more than 26 booklets.
