From the esteemed (almost) publisher of Atlanta Nights

April 21, 2010 9:40 AM

The antics of print-on-demand publisher PublishAmerica have been covered here before, but it seems they've reached a new low: using Haiti quake relief to get authors to buy more copies of their own books.

This is on top of "donating" copies of your book to various parties such as publishers and best-selling authors.

Another reaction and further shenanigans here.

These people are scum, and that's an insult to scum.

Man I hate those guys. They give the actual publishing industry a bad name. Hopefully someone can actually nail them for fraud this time.
