Well, howdy, just to be the first to reply to Lon. I've already spoken up a
lot on the subject of publishers and editing. I only publish about one book
a year.

But, here's a great link to lots of independent publishers. They are my
fellow members of the Publishers Marketing Association, and range from
having just one book in print, total, to publishing dozens or hundreds of
books each year. Only a few of them specialize in horticultural subjects.
