参编过该出版社出版的著作。此次之前，曾给我发过2本书的参编邀请，我均未答应。但发现后来只出版了其中1本（猜测另一本未能招募够作者）。
以前看过很多负面评价该出版社的帖子，就像InTech，负面的评价不少，但好的著作毕竟还是有一些。好的图书，其质量主要取决于作者而不是出版社。
该出版社一般不收费。前提是你的英文过关。否者，有可能据稿，你就白干了。

国外出书的好处：
扩大自己的国际影响
需要晋职的虫虫，按有关，一般都会加分的
只做不写，约等于没做
干就是学习，增长才干的机会。万事开头难，开了头，只会越来越熟练

我刚收到参编的邀请，不知道楼主参与的怎么样了。。。不知道该怎么回复了。大家都有什么好的和意见吗，或者是一些参与过程中对自己有帮助的资料和参考书目吗。只要有一点点用的内容什么都行。
