That last statement about the checks "still coming in" make it sound
like you're defending yourself as to why you're qualified to write a
book about GNOME programming without being one of the GNOME
developers.  It would be more helpful if you supplied a url to an
online draft copy of your book, so that it could be reviewed by anyone
interested.  I'm sure this would help a lot more than trying to defend
yourself.
