* Books that overlap too heavily with our existing books.
* Books on proprietary technologies that don't have a huge user base.
* Books on miniscule (i.e., personal or nascent) products, even if they are open source.
* Books on topics that have dismal sales despite quality books being available. (If you're addressing a topic where good books have sold dismally in the past (for instance, LISP, LaTeX, or Web-based training), you have a much higher threshold to clear with your proposal. Convince us why there is a revival of interest in your topic, or why your approach to a deadly topic will provoke interest nonetheless.)
* Books that have been rejected by other publishers, in most cases.
