I recently received an advertisement for an AI book published by
Petrocelli Books, Inc.  I assume Petrocelli will be publishing more
AI books, so I would like to post a warning to potential authors.
I wrote two books for this company, and I've never received a royalty
check without asking for it although the contract I signed states that
statements would be sent twice a year.  Last time I asked for a
statement, I was told that PBI had cash flow problems and had to wait
several months after their grace period for a meager sum.
