: 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

If you were a university lecturer deciding on the course textbook, would you choose a self-published one, no matter how good you thought it was?

If you were a reader looking for a book about a particular IT subject, where would you look? If you found a self-published title, would you be likely to buy it?

What are the less ten books you have bought? How many of them were self-published?

For me it's a no-brainer: if a traditional publisher will take it on, go with them.
