[AccessD] Database Advisors lists

Getting a % of the sales is a whole lot better than what
I got when I co-authored a book.  I got a whole $660
per chapter for the 2 chapters that I wrote.

Teach Yourself Access 97 in 21 Days
I wrote the chapters on database design and relationships.
(3 and 5)

It was the first and last time that those 2 chapters were
included in the 21 Days books.  Too bad because that is
the cornerstone of development.

I have been thinking about writing one about SQL Server
basics and publishing it as an ebook/PDF myself on my
WeBeDb.com site.  Anyone interested?  Would any of you
buy it for say $20 as a subscription where you could
keep downloading it and all the updates/changes/additions
to it?
