Has anyone heard or dealt with Shady Hill Press, located in Utah? I live in UT and was just searching local presses.

Thank you!

Additional fees? Or indeed 'fee's'? I'd give this one a miss.

Thanks, aliceshortcake.

Definitely a pass for me now that I look a little more.

If you go to http://www.ebornbooks.com/home.html (instead with "/publishing" appended), the main page shows that Eborn Books is "Utah's Largest New, Used, and Rare Bookstore!"

The prices on their publishing titles indicate POD.

Looks like a bookstore started a sideline business of pod/ebook publishing.

One way to follow up is to quietly take that trip to Eborn.. They took over Sam Weller's old location right across from KUTV after Weller relocated to Trolley Square. Gallivan Trax Station if you don't feel like dealing with the parking. First I heard they had an ebook division. You'd be better off going with Seagull first though, if its LDS related stuff. Or Deseret Book.
