Online booksellers
Here's a drawback with online booksellers: flawed databases. Case in point: According to Barnes and Noble's website, I'm co-author of "Current Perspectives on Sex Crimes", which I'm sure is a top notch volume in its field, but not my area of expertise and not a publication of mine. Note the fact that my name is not on the cover of the book, which is displayed on the page. Have I sent a correction in to Barnes and Noble? Twice (following proper channels as well; there's an author's feedback section), and have been told it will be fixed. Third time's the charm? Sigh.

Your story, Greg, is an interesting counterpoint to Joseph Turow's Niche Envy, which I've just finished and enjoyed a great deal. Love the cover of your real book, by the way and am looking forward to buying it, well, somewhere.....
