And, yeah, a lot of it *is* crap, as Sturgeon said. But that also applies to tradpub titles.
Over-generalizing doesn't help your position, I fear.

With a traditionally-published author I can be pretty sure that the book won't contain spelling or grammatical errors, and that it'll be reasonably well-written. That is of course no guarantee that I'll enjoy it, but it rules out my biggest problem with self-published books: the fact that the majority have never been in the hands of a decent editor.
Thank you - I'll check her out, although I fear that my not negligible knowledge of Egyptian history may make me somewhat intolerant of historical errors

Thanks for your thoughts. Much appreciated.
