Yeah, I had faith in them, even sent an e-mail saying so, but still did not get a refund when I finally requested one.
I used to keep a list of all the small presses that owed me money for books never published but I threw it out years ago. It was something like $300 or so total.
And a certain defunct bookstore owner around here still never paid me back my nearly $500 deposit for merchandise never received.
It's a dog eat dog world, arf arf!
