>>I see my error. They hoped I wouldn't notice, and I didn't. They are
very clever indeed.
So even an agreement doesn't protect you. You have to be careful when
you think the publisher is just restating already agreed terms that it
may in fact be changing the terms of your agreement as was the case
here. Very sneaky. <<
Or maybe, just maybe, they really didn't do it on purpose, and they
assumed book pages as they do for all of their projects. We all know the
problem with assumptions, and if they assumed, and you assumed...well,
it can get ugly. Perhaps their email was legit, and their reasoning was
truthful.
Maybe I'm optimistic that way, but I doubt that they were purposely
clever and sneaky.
Sorry bout your 600 clams, it's an expensive learning lesson.
