Wow, that is crazy. It would be interesting to see how many sales you have had, but they could just lie and say it has sold zero copies and keep all the profits instead of just a large portion of them. Do they hold all the rights or can you publish the book again through a different company?

It is crazy! There are still quite a few of these companies out there but they're better at disguising themselves now. They can declare pretty much anything for sales and I wouldn't be any the wiser. I can cancel the book and republish elsewhere but I'm going to see if I can get the back royalties before I do that. I'd like to bring this one to Amazon but color books are tough to publish because production costs are so high.
Ah okay, that makes sense. Just another thing where blockchain would make a huge difference in showing the transparency of what is actually sold. That whole open ledger thing could go a long way towards keeping businesses like this more honest!
I absolutely agree! This would be another wonderful use-case for blockchain!
