The important Q: did they PAY?

My attitude on books like this is, I usually end up putting 1-2 hours in, upfront, that's "sales" time. After that, you can't go much further, or you end up broke. And I only do it if I think that the publisher has the right mindset and BUDGET for the book.

(We got an 800 page, 4-col. Bible in today, that is purportedly translated into 26 languages. Can't wait to see how this goes! The last Bible we had in is the biggest single rip-off of Booknook's history--the guy took his book and never paid us, nearly $1K in dough. I admit, I'm leery of Bibles.)
