I've noticed this too (similarity between Rosetta and Open Road), but have never really checked it out. So now I did, and here's what their website says:
Quote:
RosettaBooks is a leading independent publisher headquartered in New York City. It pioneered by building a 700-eBook catalog of iconic titles.
RosettaBooks prides itself as a pro-author publisher. It has long paid the highest standard industry eBook royalties.

Rosetta does seem to have a bit of a thing for somehow having a few books out of an otherwise "homogeneous" series - Robert B Parker's
Promised Land, Ed McBain's
Fuzz, and Sharyn McCrumb's
Bimbos of the Death Sun (but sadly not the only other book in that too-short series,
Zombies of the Gene Pool) come to mind. I've always just assumed it to be some quirk of publishing rights...
I've read all three of those and didn't notice any egregious errors, but I'm pretty tolerant of formatting - although not of totally missing text!
