ETA- To show how utterly tone deaf GSP's minions are, I present
this tweet, replete with disturbing URL and a subtle undertone of publish-or-perish.
Feast your eyes on this limpid English prose:
Making a good book cover can be a challenging job, especially if you are a beginner. Do not worry! If you need help to make a good book cover, visit the publishing can be your choice. A publishing is a company that provides customers with exceptional service. They have a strong background with years of experience and skills that assure the success of your project. In addition, they offer a variety of packages that will help you to make professional book cover design, and promote it. Looking publishing service is simple. On the internet, you will find hundreds of websites that offer publishing services. However, there is one that stands out, that is Green Shore Publishing.

It reads like a composite of Handry Swastika's work and that of someone whose command of English is
slightly better. I can't believe any native English speaker could read that, notice the bizarre url and take GSP seriously.
Does anyone know if Adam Salviani still lives in New Jersey? Because I get the distinct impression that he's left the publicizing and actual running of GSP to people who don't speak English as a first language and probably work for low wages. I'd love to know if GSP has received any submissions yet and if so, where the Hoxton Mix people redirected them.
ETA: Yes, GSP have received some submissions! They've tweeted about it so it must be true! And I love how they've thanked the author of that ridiculous biohunt.net puff piece, which I suspect is a case of Adam being grateful to himself:

"Nice work to everyone"? Honestly, would you want these jokers to edit your book?
Finally, GSP's Facebook likes have now dropped to 3,137 and my question about ISBNs has been deleted. It's also amusing to note that the ten spambot comments added yesterday were posted between 15.08 and 15.43 - a grand total of 35 minutes!
