Ant,
I know I didn't answer the question whether I ever published with a vanity
press (Vanity press is a term for a publisher who asks money to publish your
book). It's like asking "did you ever go to a fortune teller?" This will
not help you to decide whether you should go as well. But if you want to
publish a book that is read you should do the effort (and it can be a big
effort) to find a publisher who pays advances and royalties to its authors.
