He wouldn't be interested in 'big chocolate bar' authors would he? I could specialse in sectors such as 'Dark', 'Caramel' and 'Fruit & Nut' ... 
... no? Well, worth a try!

Is that a Zen koan - translate German into German? 
Now, if you translate it into English, I see it's something to do with rugby players.

Would you include an appendix on Giant Toblerone[^] as well? They do a 2 1/2 foot long, 10lb bar, which would need an appendix just to itself!

I can see the title of the Article already!
I can't read the article clearly - it's covered in brown fingerprints...

My neighbor actually died eating chocolates. He use to eat drink and sleep chocolates. He use to eat medicines with adding some liquid chocolate on top. I think the last one he had was Snickers.

I don't want to say big data, because well, in my mind, big data is truly staggering, I don't think another book on hadoop is what the world needs.
Why?
1) Everyone is doing "hadoop"
2) Hadoop is not marketed as a panacea but is being implemented as one
3) Vertical Scale has been proven to be faster when "it fits"
4) Enterprise Really needs to be spoon fed and buying 100 nodes isn't "feasible" sometimes
5) Sometimes what seems like a "big data" problem is an infrastructure problem
What I think would be better is a book of case studies that came with a CD (haha, DVD's of sample data) that took a data set, real-world problems, and the tackled them using numerous methods.
Did you know that it takes 2 seconds to load a 2GB file into ram on my machine?

Well, if they do nothing in the way of promotion better write and publish it your self.

That's an option these days, and one I considered for my own work. However, it would cost me thousands of dollars to hire the professional editors, compositors, artists and other talent to insure a professional quality title. Working with a publisher, I get those services for free.
And of course, any author who feels that he shouldn't have to participate in the marketing and promotion of his work won't have much fun in the world of self publishing.
There are benefits to self publishing and to working with an established publisher. I looked at both and went the approach that would serve me best. That said, there is no path that doesn't involve the author being actively engaged in promotion.
Have you had good experiences self publishing your own books?
