(Note: I&#39;m a historian, not a scientist.)<br /><br />My first book was scholarly, but the other three are &quot;popular&quot; and the gratification quotient from the latter definitely outweighs the former.

I&#39;m sorry we did not get to discuss academic vs. trade books/publishers more, though, so if you have any other questions feel free to e-mail me about it.
