I want to thank all of you who have contacted me about our problems with the publisher of our book, 'In Living Color'. Our contract was with Landis Publishing in Texas, who sold the rights to Springer Verlag. Springer says they have no contract with us, so they don't need to pay us anything. Ron Landis has admitted in writing that he owes us, claims he was selling his business, but still publishes. He refuses to give us any number of books sold, as our contract says we get 10% of each sale, plus he never paid us the amount he promised when the book was done. Cal Tech's lawyers apparently couldn't solve this and we were told that we need to retain someone who can practice in Texas to sue him for the rights to the book..... I'm new at this - so any help or suggestions from those of you who publish regularly is appreciated. And a word of warning - don't use Landis for anything. Thanks Sue
