In Search for a Photography Book Publisher

I have been working on my "Photographers of the World" book for 3 years now.
I have been lucky enough to travel to some amazing places and photograph some of the greatest photographers in the world.
Im at a stage now that Im looking for a publisher, I have already approached some of the top names in photography books , such as Thames and Hudson, PHAIDON , Taschen and a few more.
I could look at self publishing but because every photographer that I have photographed has given me a high rez digital file of one of their Iconic images. There is not a chance that I am going to send that across the digital highway to a company that i don't know.
Ill hold out until I get a company that believes in this as much as I do.

JK Rowling was turned down by 12 publishing houses before it was signed up.

When researching some publishers I came across some Book Titles that HAVE been published.
Interesting list I think you will agree.

How to Avoid Huge Ships (1992)
How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art (1989)
Highlights in the History of Concrete(1994)
Reusing Old Graves: A Report on Popular British Attitudes (1995)
Greek Rural Postmen And Their Cancellation Numbers (1996)
Bombproof Your Horse (2004)
People Who Don't Know They're Dead: How They Attach Themselves To Unsuspecting Bystanders And What To Do About It (2005)
If You Want Closure In Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs (2007)

The Search goes on.
