R.I.P.
For his book that is printed by Xlibris. Rip Rense a longtime music reviewer has fallen into the vanity press pit because of agent rejection of his concept. Sometimes your angle just isn't saleable. You have consider that possibility at the very least. What a shame when seasoned media journalists fall into this trap.

Well Rip that's my bad detective work showing up I guess. Vanity presses are a trap becuse once there any book is dead no matter the merit. Xlibris is the worst in my view. I did this twice as an experiment and it failed as it always does.
The goal of vanity publication is commercial publication. Damn few get there on this road. That's the message. Your book is DOA. That's all I meant. Thanks for the tip.
Look Rip no one is skewering you. It's Xlibris that's taking the hit not you. It also shows how brutal the publishing industry is when a journalist has to be relegated to this boneyard. Hilburn was a mistake; A guess from the list of candidates. I don't know who the hell you are.
I'll into your suggestion. Thanks.
Look I wished I would have guessed more wisely and chosen someone more to your liking. This journalist corrects mistakes when new information comes in.
Sorry Glenn.
