What are the pros & cons for working with a publisher to publish a technical book? Is it worth it?
I like the fact they handle most of the non-writing stuff, but I also know they take a large cut of the money... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, I don't know.
I had a publisher reach out to me last week wanting me to write a book for them, and I'm been
wondering if it's worth considering or not.
I already write a in depth mailing list, and am developing an idea for a "course". But a book was never really o my radar.
@valorin There are quite a few pro authors out here who would have a lot to say ...
https://mwl.io/faq#publishing for example (Hi @mwlucas ) might start you ...
But one question would be "why". What is it about "a book" that you envisage as being useful rather than say just a big series of blog posts?
Being able to describe that might help you figure out some of the questions ...
