The summary of this is: Do not give your book to a publisher. You will not make any considerable money (even the highest amounts are not worth it imo), you will need to do more work than if you self-publish (formatting, references, get re-use rights) and less people will read what you write.

goodbye, 2024, and hello bluesky! it was a pleasure and an honor to be able to present my master's thesis at the future minds conference at the university of cologne in december. future minds connects the graduates of the faculty of human sciences and honors student research.
