I know. It's shocking. They used to be pretty harmless -- doctors and nurses exchanging glances, that kind of thing. It's a big industry now. One author I read about discovered a manuscript in her desk drawer that she thought she hadn't submitted. On re-reading, it seemed OK to her, except for the title, so she sent it along and the publishers (not sure if it was M&B or another in that field) duly published it. All was well for a couple of years. Then they got an irate letter from a reader wanting to know why they'd published the same book under two different titles -- was it a con trick? They'd completely forgotten the original publication, as had the author herself.
