As the comments on amazon prove, there is no such thing as bad publicity. It was Joseph Stromberg`s article on his experience publishing with LAP that actually got me thinking about doing it myself. After deciding to go through the process I wrote a short write up on my own experience:

The fact is, LAP is what it is. As my experience illustrates, a lot of the things folks are complaining about can be allotted to them not reading the fine print. Would I recommend publishing with LAP? I’d recommend that people need to do their homework before publishing with any company and stop blaming everyone else for their own regrets.
