Its not an unusual thing - the Amazon "Look Inside" logo is widely used and is usually more helpful than a hindrance in getting sales. In fact the ideal for you is probably to try to get them to put the sample chapter on Amazon because more folks will look there than on the publisher's own web site! If they are going to rely purely on academic sales then that will greatly reduce their marketplace (and your royalties!) -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
