Sorry to burst your bubble, but "vanity publishers" like this trawl around the internet to find writings by people, then bung them all in a PDF, then set up an overpriced link for you to get a print-on-demand book. Many low-volume publishers use print-on-demand these days, but it makes this kind of scam very easy. Of course, there's nothing illegal in it, but just taking advantage of people's vanity...

Heh, well its still awesome. I'm very vain.

Pardon the upcoming language.
Those fucking rotters!!!!! Ah well.

Heh. I used it also, but when they started sending letters asking for money, I knew it was a scam. Still, it is nice to have your poem online. I have one that I wrote a LOOOONG time ago. Search last name Kemal and 1st name Babar if you want. It is kind of childish, but I am still proud of it.

Alec, sorry about that... but you did not pay those 50$, did you??

I've got a couple of old poems up there as well. Search for, first name: Joanna, Last name: Preston. They're under the name Joanna Mary Preston, but it doesn't let you search for two first names.

I didn't twig on at first, but I was too tight to buy the books anyway, so I came out ok. I did get a little suspicious, when a friend in my class commented that she was getting her poem published. I hope she didn't fork out for the book! At any rate, I like writing poetry, I'm not terribly fussed what people think of it.

I quite like your poem Alec - feel free to be as vain as you want!

Totoro: No. Luckily i didn't buy it.
Pelican: Thankyou, i shall be very vain.

That's why eBooks have to become more popular. Soon, they will be...oh yes, soon...
