Then I kept getting spam mail from them telling me I should buy more things. If lulu bought them, they sure as heck didn't do any research.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534975814846637353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-74500282678735926482011-01-26T09:49:05.720-06:002011-01-26T09:49:05.720-06:00And yes, Emily, leave and don't look back if y...And yes, Emily, leave and don't look back if you can. I don't close my account because I want to make sure I still have access to my old retired first editions should something shady happen.Cheryl Anne Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564041914501542048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-59718394971146211312011-01-26T09:47:02.042-06:002011-01-26T09:47:02.042-06:00S.L. the reason Amazon may still have it listed is...S.L. the reason Amazon may still have it listed is that they may still actual copies of the book on hand. In my experience with Lulu distribution, Amazon would always keep a copy on handin some cases. Now the other issue is, they may not actuall have any on hand but they do not change the status of a book to out of print until someone tries to purchase it. Then if they cannot get it, they will finally list it as out of print, but it will never be gone, especially if someone decides to sell a copy through a third party retailer. So my only advice is to try and buy one and see what happens.Cheryl Anne Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564041914501542048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-52424938103555501412011-01-26T09:29:21.904-06:002011-01-26T09:29:21.904-06:00I retired a book early last year.

I even tried to get with Amazon themselves, but Amazon told me I <i>had</i> to go through Lulu. It doesn't seem to matter to Lulu that they no longer have the right to publish my material, but they've ensured there is very, very little I can do about it. I'm still royally ticked off.<br /><br />I just hope no one buys that book. It's an embarrassment now that I know so much more than I did four years ago.S.L.
