David, you might want to bypass the traditional publishers altogether and
either go purely electronic or use the new print-on-demand system. Here are
some useful links I had compiled for a client of mine:
ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING
Mighty Words (partly-owned by Barnesandnoble.com)

Xlibris (partly-owned by Random House)

PRINT ON DEMAND (POD)
iPublish (Time Warner Books)
