It’s not very good, may have to self publish on Amazon. Publishing to boost my career profile. Is it better to publish a less than perfect book than to not publish at all. It’s in the field of AI/ ML.

google ads, scammy book review journals, social media bots, kindle promotions, etc etc.

yours sounds pretty academic and scientific so I guess you'd have to find where those nerds congregate. best case scenario you get a professor to include it in a syllabus, sell 80 of them.

“Is it better to perfect a less than perfect book than to not publish at all.”

assuming i properly understand the intent of your question, i would normally say “yes.” however, this may be a special case.

Ask Consuela what he does with all his remainders. I think he just flat out buys all copies. Wonder if he pas to store them somewhere or buries them out in the desert somewhere.

I published my book, so far have sold 8 copies. Will make some tweaks and will resell 2nd edition. It was fun to see it in the wild.

Trying to see if I can get 100+ copies sold by end of next year.
