A favorite of mine is when zzzzoom was getting ready to publish his
Sportplane Resource Guide. He went on a fishing trip for info from the
Aerocrafters folks. He wanted to find out just how many of the books
they printed. Well needless to say they were up on him and gave him a
number several times what the real print run was. Knowing that he could
always do better than anyone else he added a few thousand to that
inflated number. My best guess is that nearly 10 years later he still
has quite a few left.
Campbell and Kindred Spirits Press (his book company) was sued in 2000 by a
company called Mcnaughton and Gunn, a book-printing company. He lost, appealed,
was denied, and filed another appeal. The last appeal was turned down when he
never actually filed paperwork explaining the *reason* for the appeal.
To read the court orders, go to:

and enter "Mcnaughton & Gunn" for the search term.
The judgement was over $3,000.

What was the suit about? The site you gave doesn't say unless I'm
doing something wrong.
