Subject: The Lord of the Rings
Tolkien's masterpiece turned out to be the most read work of literature in the 20th century in English. It's a unique accomplishment which really cannot be put into any category. That's what great literature is.

You're comments are way off base and at best, amateur. There are numerous authors published by Strategic that are doing quite well with book sales and book signing events. You should really do more research before making such "preachy" and uninformed opinions yourself. These kinds of comments only question your own morals and your value to the literary community.

You didn't do any research. Strategic is not a vanity press. Eloquent may be, but Strategic is not.

Really? See my links in this post and explain to me how Strategic is not a vanity press? Really, I would like to know -- on what basis do you consider Strategic to be a regular publisher?
