I had a similar experience-- They had asked me if I wanted to write a book on SQlAlchemy[1]. > Packt is planning to publish a book titled as 'SQLAlchemy cookbook' which would be a 300 page book and in the process of seeking potential authors to work on this book I also read through your resume [Link]. It is evident that you have an expertise in this area and as such seems to be an ideal candidate to author this book for us. > It would be a pleasure working with an authority of your caliber. I had been in the industry for less than a year and I did not mention SQLAlchemy on the resume that they linked to. After seeing what their process is to find authors, I cannot recommend any book that they publish. It's not the monetary cost. It's the opportunity cost of not reading a book on the subject that is good. [1]: http://lakeofbits.com/packt-publishing-authorship-offer/ http://lakeofbits.com/packt-publishing-authorship-offer/
