fraudulant with actual sales
I went to Trafford and submitted my manuscript which was published. My book is everywhere on the web and it says so many used copies and so many new available. I cannot get a hold of this company for nothing. They are horrible sales people, customer service is beyond horrible. To book I was promised quarterly statements. I have received 4 since 2005. I believe they are selling the book and keeping all royalties for the corporation. I am seeking an attorney as I have seen their financial statements online. I cannot believe the are a multi-million corp. without selling books.
I would never have used this publishing company with what I know now. It's a scam.
We need to get together and file for a mass fraud case with company. They clearly do not adhere to contracts.
Thank you and Publishers beware!!!

I agree with you! I found my book on 26, 000 sites. For the last 14 months Trafford was behind on their posting of statements. Then the news came, zero sales for that year and a half! I was aware of disappearing sales back in 2009 so I made it a point to buy a book once a month through local book stores and on-line distributors. Along with friends that saved their receipts. So I have proof! I tried contacting royalty hunters but they say they won't touch it for under a million! Like you, I would see 15 new 5 used on Amazon. So being a good company that they are they informed me that, in order for a customer to sell a new or used book, they must have purchased it first, not speculation sales. Trafford states in their guide lines, when ever a book is printed you earn a royalty! Not when ever the book sells but when it is printed. So all the books of yours you see for sale where printed first. Time for a class action lawsuit!
