David,
I did self publish, and I offer the book in electronic form. The idea is that you aren't buying the physical form but the information it contains. So it isn't printed. This also allows me to update the book regularly, which I've done a few times.
I offered the DC PHP group a discount of 10% off the price. The discount code is DCPHP10.I did self publish, and I offer the book in electronic form.

I just became aware of Brandon Savage's book Mastering Object Oriented PHP (http://masteringobjectorientedphp.com/). Did Brandon self publish? If so, very cool. I wonder who is printing the books.Recently, I was approached by Packt Publishing, a print on demand publishing company, to write a 300 page book, entitled "Redis High Performance Cookbook." They are offering a 16% royalty, which means that one could expect to earn about $5,000 for writing the book--they expect to sell at least 1,000 copies. My understanding is that The Pragmatic Bookshelp (http://pragprog.com/write-for-us) offers a 50% royalty. Anyway, it strikes me that if you can find a good printer who will print on demand, then self publishing would be the way to go.David--
