I am happy with the results, but as always you have to have an audience hungry for your book. When you have fans waiting for your work, you will make more money that you would ever do going the traditional publishing route. When you don't have a market, well... I would recommend that you get two books: The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.) It's available on-line http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html but I would recommend that you get the print edition anyway. 1000 Ways to Market your Book http://www.bookmarket.com/1001ways.html OpenOffice.org is an excellent choice for a self-publisher, you can easily re-purpose your content using OO.org to publish ebooks, mobile content, etc. I swear by it. -- Jacek Artymiak --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you Jacek!!
