Saundra,
I'll try and answer your question(s) as closely as I can from my own experience. Anything you've mentioned I got thru my own publisher (line and content editing, press releases, original cover, marketing help, etc.), of my first book, and it was POD. Registrations, as well. And yes, MOST (notice I said MOST) chain bookstores, such as Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, etc. do not STOCK POD books. This does not mean they won't order them if a customer asked for them, but they do not like to stock them. This is, however, changing since their profits are so low the last two quarters and they are attributing it to more and more authors going POD. I wish I could remember where I read this. Anyway, I have two books, one with traditional pub, and the other POD. My next book will more than likely be POD as well because I have complete control over my book and I like that. Course, I'm forgetting here that you didn't ask for the pros and cons of POD vs. Traditional. Forgive. AnyHOO...

I've never heard of this company, but please make sure you check them out thru preditors and editors. Why would a traditonal book company have you pay ANYTHING?

Hope this helps!

p.s. I "googled" your company's name and couldn't find anything on them. Are they new? If so, make sure they are not an old company that went bankrupt and have regrouped under a new name. Some pubs do this.
