Many of us are spammed by Wrox on a regular basis, and I really which you didn't spread their spam here. These people get email addresses, spam people, have inane deadlines, pay crap (one friend was paid for what they used of his writing, not what he wrote), have bad editing (Simon was irate when he read his book and saw the horrible editing), and simply do not go about finding good authors in a good fashion. Nor, do they seem to want to publish quality books. How do you expect to have quality when you give 1-2 week deadlines? Being someone who just wrote a book, I know 1-2 weeks for a chapter can be very difficult (depending on the subject matter). Personally, I asked them to stop emailing me, yet, they haven't. From what I have seen, other publishers get email/names from authors/reviewers of their own, not from harvesting email addresses from CPAN and websites. Shame on them!

The only thing to meditate on here is why you felt the need to post this here. If I could delete this, I would.

Cheers,
