It appears you are indeed correct cat about this:
I was a ignorant and naïve and I stupidly paid them the 2,500 English pounds ($5,000 Australian for me). They certainly produced the book – and sent me ten free copies. My book is available through amazon but it is available nowhere else. I have written many times to them asking for details as to their distribution network, promotion and marketing details which they promised on my original contract. It would appear that they have done nothing to get my book into any bookshop...I am beginning to realise that this is an evil industry – preying on the unwary and naïve authors.
my emphasis - how sad for her
I bet there are some good(ish) publishing houses out there
