Thank you for the correction; my apology.
When a book is self-published, it would be helpful if the person posting the deal would note the extenuation, whether having read it or because the rights have reverted or whatever. I did follow through, just not effectively I'm afraid. I clicked on the Amazon link, saw the tell-tale indicators and Googled the publisher. Actually more than minimal effort although obviously misdirected and while I take sufue's point, the amount of vetting a mod can/will do is very much dependent on circumstances; why not preempt the need? Let's work together.
