Their general business model is hyper-local history in slim volumes packed with as many historical photos as possible. The print runs are generally small--1,000 copies or less--with no advance paid, only royalties. The authors are almost always "local historians." Because of that, the quality of the books is often hit-or-miss. Some of authors really know their stuff, and the books are great. Others are more gossipy and use a lot of words to say very little. I saw the Kahiki book and wondered if you'd had any involvement in it. Sounds like it's a sore spot for you (trust me, I know the feeling!).
