I am writing my first book and I would like some advice on how to get
it published.  Following are my specific questions:

  1. What are the respectable publishers for computer reference
     books?  What is your experience with them?

  2. When should I contact these publishers?  Should I wait until
     the first draft of my book is complete?

  3. What are the things that I can negotiate with the publisher?

Any other advice/suggestion is welcome.  Thank you for your help.
