Blurb.com lost any legitimate right to print any further copies
Blurb.com has continued to sell my books without my consent or permission, nearly four years after the books were deleted from their website and account was closed. When I deleted the PDF file from Blurb.com website in early 2020 they forfeited any rights to print further copies anywhere, yet Blurb.com has never stopped selling them to this day. Any copies printed after I deleted the PDF and closed the account are stolen. Furthermore, Blurb.com is now claiming publishing rights to my stolen book. More details of Blurb.com deception are below; In 2019, a private investigator uncovered evidence that Blurb.com had been skimming 2/3 of my book sales, a clear violation of my rights as the author and copyright holder. This discovery already raised significant concerns about Blurb.com's business practices and their disregard for intellectual property rights. Following the investigation, I personally observed my books still available for sale on Amazon.com, even though Blurb.com denied in writing selling my books on any platform and claimed they were not being sold on any platform. Despite waiting for several months to over a year, my books remained listed on Amazon.com without my authorization. In an attempt to regain control over the situation and have my stolen books removed, I signed up for a publisher's account and successfully had the books titled The Sad Reality: Christianity and Islam removed from the platform. However, to my dismay, my books continued to be sold on all other Amazon platforms without my permission or consent. Repeated requests to Blurb.com to stop selling my books have been met with further deception and lies, leaving me with no choice but to discontinue my attempts to contact them directly. It has become abundantly clear that Blurb.com has retained the PDF files of my books and has been selling them without any legal right or consent. As a result, I firmly believe that their actions constitute a violation of copyright laws and intellectual property rights. I would like to emphasize that Blurb.com is not the rightful property rights holder of my books. When I deleted the PDF files from the Blurb.com website in early 2020, they lost any legitimate right to print or distribute any further copies of my books. Their continued sale and distribution of my books without authorization is both unethical and illegal.

Pricing
They NEVER responded to my question, just continued with the exact same automated emails with websites that did NOT address question. There are no actual people running this company. Prices have skyrocketed!!

Received hardcover book with upside down, backward cover installed
I paid for multiple expensive hardcover books. Besides getting a very late shipment and getting ripped off for expedited shipping that I paid for, I received a book with an upside down and backward cover installed. Seriously?! This was the most major of a few fabrication faults, along with some other printing issues that should not have been so evident for the most expensive of the high-quality materials I selected for the order. After 5K spent, I am at a loss and the customer service has not yet made good on the solution or promise of replacement. I have no confidence in this company. If you have a special project and need reliability, I recommend that you search elsewhere for custom printing.

Not received book The Morning is A Candle
I paid for fir expedited mailing. Book was due September 14th. Still not here. This is the second edition containing additional material. I am mentioning this because a mailing of approximately twenty copies of the first edition had been sent with the proper cover with someone elses material inside. The printer resolved that issue quickly. I need this new copy to review it ASAP. It is meant for someone and I must have it no later than September 23rd, please expedite! Mark S Aster

Still waiting for copy of my book.
Book of poetry, The Morning Is A Candle was due September 14th and still has not arrived. I also have not received an email indicating that it's been sent. I paid for updated delivery because I need it to give to someone and must have it no later than the 23rd. You previously published a book for me under the same title. This is an updated version with some additional material. I am mentioning the previous edition because a shipment of about twenty copies or so had been sent to me with the proper cover, but containing someone else's writing, The printer was quick to rectify that error. Please expedite the mailing of the copy of the new edition Mark S Aster
