sales figures from O'Reilly

As Rob and others have said, writing a technical book is not the road to riches. Unless you are careful, you can easily spend so much time writing the book that the money received amounts to less than minimum wage.

Here's an interesting page where O'Reilly discusses the sales figures of their books and the amount of money an author might expect: http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/2003/salesexpect_0603.html
