That is not the worst of it. You usually have to sign first rights of refusal
for everything you ever do . So, if you ever want to write a second edition,
or a different book, it might cost you more money than you ever made just to
get out of that contract. That is happening to a friend of mine whose book
was published by a small academic press that was later bought out by Wiley...
Look at Lulu.com. They will publish ebooks as well as paper. The costs are
very reasonable.
