? Also, the
? publisher might not really want to be held responsible for the final
? appearance of the publication; it might not be as great as the authors
? think it is.

Do you think anybody (except insiders) really care who the publisher is?
Can you tell the difference between Prentice Hall and Random House? If
Addison Wesley produces a dog, do you decide not to buy other books by
that publisher, or do you decide based on the author and title.

I consider publishing houses to be about as important as whether
General Mills or Kellogg's made my cornflakes, or whether MGM or
Universal produced the last movie I saw.
