Conservative Authors Sue Publisher

[rpannier]

Five authors have sued the parent company of Regnery Publishing, a Washington imprint of conservative books, charging that the company deprives its writers of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company.

In a suit filed in United States District Court in Washington yesterday, the authors Jerome R. Corsi, Bill Gertz, Lt. Col. Robert (Buzz) Patterson, Joel Mowbray and Richard Miniter state that Eagle Publishing, which owns Regnery, “orchestrates and participates in a fraudulent, deceptively concealed and self-dealing scheme to divert book sales away from retail outlets and to wholly owned subsidiary organizations within the Eagle conglomerate.”

These hacks ought to be sued for hoisting their crappy FICTION on the public.
They should be grateful those books sold so cheaply because no sane person would ever pay full price for the junk those toads write.

I have heard their sales were also boosted by the hosuing boom. Their books make great housing insulation.
