Sometimes, the author is writing the book solely for the purpose of
fulfilling a requirement to keep tenure at their teaching position.

What stinks even more is the actual author makes little to no money on the
book. Publishing is the way to go. It is like the music industry, in most
cases the artist makes little money and the record companies get it all.
Sheesh, no money for the working man, money for the man working for you.
