Check the Studiob Web site ( http://www.studiob.com/ ), which is run by a
computer-book agency; they also have a mailing list, a list full of
computer-book authors, publishers, editors, etc. These people do a lot of
royalty deals. Also, see Ivan Hoffman's Web site. He's a publishing and
copyright lawyer, and has some articles about things to consider in royalty
deals ( http://home.earthlink.net/~ivanlove )
