I'm curious how the author liked working with NoStarch. I know one of PragProg's big selling points is that they're much easier to deal with and provide much higher royalties than traditional tech publishers; I wonder if NoStarch has taken a similar approach.
I can't speak to how easy PragProgs is to work with, but it seems their 'much higher royalties' are just creative bookkeeping. Where other publishers base royalties on a book's gross, PragProgs uses net. They're somewhere between traditional and vanity publishing in that regard.
