Writing a Textbook, Part 1, Commercial Publishing

Many things go into the production of a textbook. In part one I detail my experiences in writing college textbooks via a traditional textbook publisher. I discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of taking this route.
My free texts and lab manuals are available for download at my college web site www.mvcc.edu/jfiore and at my personal site www.dissidents.com
Inexpensive print and kindle copies are available at Amazon www.amazon.com/author/jimfiore
If you like my texts and videos, and would like to help defray the costs of making and maintaining them, consider making a modest donation at www.buymeacoffee.com/Professo...

Thanks for your support. Would this be a budding second career, or the flowering of a hobby? I'm betting on the latter ;-)
