<<This is not the way many vanity presses present themselves--they are
not
printers, but publishers, that is, they promote your book, advertise it,
distribute it. What often happens is that they only print or bind a
small
number of the agreed number of books and try to convince book stores in
your
neighborhoud to stock a few copies.>>
Well, granted, any outfit that deliberately misleads people like this --
and I have seen such misleading advertising -- is bad news, but I
wouldn't condemn the practice of vanity publishing altogether. Just be
sure you know exactly what the deal is.
