: Re: Springer or CRC versus self-publishing I have an IT textbook that is about 120,000 words which was accepted for publishing at several very reputable publishers. My goal is to get the text out

In academia, traditional publishing is a signal to readers that a book may be trusted. When I'm studying science or technology (and reading textbooks), I am usually not yet able to judge whether a book presents the current consensus of the scientific or technical community or contains misleading falsehoods. Self-published academic works give the impression of being rejected by respectable publishers because they were written by quacks. I would therefore never buy self-published textbooks, unless the author was famous (and possibly not even then, because some famous tech writers self-published abominable trash).
