Pros*

You have a say when it comes for formatting your book.

You can have as many graphics as you like.

Cons*

Very low royalties.

Expensive setup fee.

No manuscript selection

$75.00 penalty clause for non-US based authors.

Additional Comments*

Just a warning about the royalties they offer. These may well be among the lowest you'll find, especially when it comes to wholesale sales. Remember they pay you 10% of the wholesale price. So, for a $15.00 book that is bought by a wholesaler at a 40% discount, you'd get only $0.90 (10% of $9.00).
