Say you sell a book to a small press. They deal mostly in ebooks, but offer trade paperbacks as well.
But the paperbacks are printed by a vanity press like Booksurge.
What do you have here? The book's gone through editing and all that, and you've paid nothing, just like a "real" publisher. Have you been published "for real", or is it just selective vanity publishing done by a middleman? Does it matter how a small press goes about printing?
