​Paying for "free" books













​Many pay-to-publish companies, particularly the divisions of colossus Author Solutions, advertise "free" books that their authors will receive as part of their publishing packages.



As shown here, you can get 60 "free" books with the AuthorHouse Pinnacle package. However, those 60 books are free only if the author/customer/victim ignores the $1,999 that must be paid to get the "free books."



Doesn't anyone at AuthorHouse know what "free" means? It's not a very complicated word. If the books are really free, you shouldn't have to pay nearly two thousand bucks to get them.
