I recommend my publisher, MIT Press. They agreed to bring my book
out reasonably ($40 list if I recall for the hardcover); then came
with a paperback a year later that listed, I forget exactly, maybe
$26. And both versions were immediately discounted from there by
Amazon and BN, if I recall the
MIT Press was among the first publishers I contacted. The editor said
