As of today, 0 books with PublishAmerica are returnable. They claim that it may take as long as the end of the year to make every title returnable, and they are starting with those whose sales are 40+ in the month of September. Who did they direct the sales pitch to? Their authors. Ask yourself this: do you want to have a book in binding, or do you want to have a book that readers can find easily on bookstore shelves? If your answer is the former, go with Lulu. They won't charge you either. If your answer is the latter, keep submitting until you hit a press that pays you money for it. For more information see: www.absolutewrite.com/forums and check out the NEPAT thread on the Background Check forum. Don’t do it.
