I spent the weekend working on my little side project which I hope will benefit others: it's a much-improved version of the publication pipeline I used to build @ReactiveSpring

bootiful-asciidoctor.github.io

the ideal is that you point the pipeline to the Git repo with you @asciidoctor docs, and point it to the Git repos (zero or more) containing code you'd like to include, and it'll clone 'em all, then generate your book.
* screen PDF
* prepress PDF
* ePub
* Mobi
* HTML

You can take that prepress ready book to @AmazonPub KDP for print. You can take the ePub or Mobi to @leanpub for everything else. Preview the screen PDF or HTML for yourself.

Mix that with my favorite prose editor @Grammarly - which is a great way to be reminded that I evidently don't know English at all haha! - and now you've replaced 90% of your publisher's editorial support.

You can buy your own ISBNs. Your book will be registered in the library of congress and YOU, not some other name, will be listed as the publisher _and_ author. It's a nice feeling.

Design your book cover (or hire someone to do it) and book jacket and, voilà, you're wrote a book for very cheap and you reap all the benefits thanks to open-source tools
