I know this has mostly been for journals, but I'd love to know more about book publishers and, especially, editors as well. I'll toss my experience out for those who are interested.
I just published with First Forum. The editor, Andrew, was fantastic. I hadn't really ever thought of the project as a book, but he was incredibly helpful. It's a lower end press, so you have to do some things on your own (e.g., indexing), but it wasn't too painful. All in all, it was a great way for me to get something good out the door from the dissertation and move on to other things that had attracted my attention since graduation.
