OICURMT,
as someone who has been through this exercise recently I can assure you that Steve O'Maera will have very lttle imput into what is happpening with the publishers.
In my case I am the co-authour of the recently released "Imaging Southern Skies," published by Springer Inernational. The book finally came out 11 months after we finished working on it. It was meant to have been released at the end of October 2012. It finally came out in mid January this year and we (Stephen Chadwick and I) were the last to know about it!
I guess with the bigger publishing companies your book can be just one of hundreds that they are working on at any one time. I doubt that astronomy books rank highly even with well read authors like Steve O'Maera.
I am reviewing a preliminary version of "Southern Gems," at the moment. All I can say is that it will be well worth the wait.
Cheers
Ian Cooper
