Hi Margaret. It all sounds promising but as you say you won’t know anything till scan results are in. Bless you for putting in the time and effort to be trail blazers even though your choice in the matter is out of your hands. I think you are doing a sterling job fighting your husbands corner. I am full of admiration. 
Sorry can’t help with the book but I wish you both all the best with it. 

I do have experience. This means what is usually called vanity publishers. You have to pay upfront for them to  publish your book. They will then put it on amazon and other sites. Dont expect to sell many unless it is something really interesting. It is mainly for family and friends. If you dont need editing then I suppose one can go for the cheapest. Otherwise one has to pay quite a lot. I had the bad experience of my publisher going bankrupt so I lost my money and the books. They usually print in a cheap place not in the UK and give you about twenty of them. Dont believe when they say they can sell them to W H Smith or other open shops they cant. If you want them sold you yourself will have to go round the shops. Most book shops even the very large chains do have a person there who is authorised to buy books but you will have a hard job getting him to doing it. There are different ways to publish either like one at a time when needed or a large amount. Books can be very dear if published one at a time when needed. My books at the time I was told costed one pound to be printed and were sold at five pounds. I have no idea what it is today. 

Thanks for info Seeker1 useful to know pitfalls to avoid. I will pass details on to hubby.

Lovely to hear from you Margaret and that your husband is doing ok, yes i can quite imagine it is a bit more involved when doing trials as i suppose they have to record quite a few details and observations at different periods, well done to your husband in partaking in the trials and you supporting and helping him along the way. Sorry, i cannot help with the book but i wish you both good luck in getting the book published. Best wishes,
