This is a warning to all publishers who do business with book retailers.

I was scammed by a company based in Vienna, Austria called Shakespeare & Co. Booksellers.

In a nutshell they ordered books from my publishing company, I have delivery confirmation that the books were delivered to their U.S. distributor, and (after repeated e-mails) they have failed to pay for them.

Shakespeare & Co. Booksellers likes to buy books and never pay for them.

THEY ARE THIEVES - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!

Relevant information on the deceptive company:

Name: Sheila Perlaki
Name on PayPal Account: Gerda Elisabeth Zobel
E-mail: booksellers@shakespeare.co.at
Website: Shakespear & Company - English Books
Alternate Website: www.shakespeare-company.biz
Address: Sterngasse 2, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Phone: (+431) 535 50 53
Fax: (+431) 5355053/16


Please Note: They are in no affiliated with the company by the same name operated out of New York City.

The lesson here is do not ship books to small book retailers without payment in advance.
