At the risk of doing just that, I could add that I have always been
perplexed by the business model of the Edwin Mellen Press. They go out of
their way to say that the are *not* a Vanity Press, which only reinforces
the point that everyone thinks that they are! I suppose they survive by
producing cheaply, and selling expensively to academic libraries. There is a
suspicion that they publish books that no-one else will.
