Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Serious Question (believe it or not)...
I am sure that any of working DBA's have this money to put up front. I don't think that risk to invest in the book is more than in the stock market. Also what is the problem to hire editor (especially not technical). Should not be too expencive. Of cource it is more work, but one can get much more money.

self-publishing houses charge you to publish the book (yes, they do, that's how my father-in-law published his book)
I also doubt that they give you much in the way of help in editing your book, so that if your English is not good (as the case of the author that Jonathan is working with) you end up with an unreadable book.
