Wow... I haven't been here in a few years. I was SURE PA would be out of business by now. I guess I was wrong.
I wonder if they had their traditional Christmas-time firings of the staff members who were due to get raises. And I wonder if Larry wore a Santa suit while he was dumping them.
Unless you explicitly and timely requested termination of the contract Before the seven years, it rolled over to s new term. Better check on that.Gosh, this company is STILL in business! Hello, to those who remember me, and Happy New Year. I haven't been keeping tabs on PA that much anymore (probably good that I don't), but I'm glad most of you in here have. This company still has my book, but I think the 7 years is up as far as print rights or whatever it is.
On a happy note, I've started writing again. I haven't returned to poetry or fiction yet, but I'm blogging some. I'm getting there.
As for PA - There are no appropriate words.
Wow - I just looked on Amazon to see if my book was still there. A store/seller called Red Rhino is selling my book for...$63.85+shipping! I am astounded! It is a 84 page POETRY book! I don't know if I should throw up or faint first.
Link is here.
Check out their feedback.
So they take your $999.11, in turn buy the book from someone else for a penny, and make close to a thousand dollar profit.
Heh. Just noticed an out of print book of mine is being sold for $999.11.
It does seem to be computer pricing at work as other sellers have the book for as little as a penny.
Here's one example of bizarre pricing of used books at Amazon that made CNN. There are others.
