Simon did not edit that one, but he did edit my Erlang book, as well as 
writing one on his own (and editing a bunch of other FP Books). It took 
many hours of work from him and others at O'Reilly to do this, this is 
what they are for.

Also I did not get an advance on that book, so I got nothing until it 
started to sell. Yes If I had self published I would have gotten a 
bigger percent, but really there are a million details from finding an 
editor to cover art and distribution that I really did not want to deal with
