Since this is obviously a vanity printing (not a title acquired by Penguin Random House but one the author paid PRHto print) the gruesome twosome have already paid for the books upfront. Again, there is nothing in the trades about an advance paid or RH acquiring the book. Zip zero zilch. Also absolutely nothing about the book on Random House’s Twitter, where they are pushing Fathers Day books for adults and children. It’s not on their “new this week” thread either. if they had paid an advance, PRH would be promoting.
Plus, Nothing about the book outside of the illustrator meets professional standards.
