I've just come across another mysterious LitFire book, Randall Biehl's A Survey of the New Testament:
http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/A_Survey_of_the_New_Testament.html?id=E6faoQEACAAJ&redir_esc=y
It was supposedly published on 10th October this year but I can find no other references to it.
Just in case you're wondering, Randall Biehl is a real person. He's also the author of A Survey of the Bible's Minor Prophets, published by Westbow in 2011.
Another book allegedly published by Litfire in 2010 is Confessions of a Substitute Teacher: Don't Work for PESG or Teach in Ypsilanti, Michigan by John Barr Jr:

It was originally published by Xlibris. The following one-star Amazon reviews speak volumes about what may be lurking within the covers of largely unread self/vanity-pubbed books:
It sounds like you've picked a winner here, LitFire!
ETA: I did a Google search for LitFire Publishing and found - beginning on page five - the author pages of another nine LitFire authors. Every one of their books had previously been vanity published by Trafford, Tate, Xlibris, Outskirts, Balboa and others, and there is nothing on Amazon to indicate that a new edition is available through LitFire. None of these author pages are linked to LitFire's own website, so goodness knows how anyone is supposed to find them.

Nothing Much Here Except Demented Slander
By B. Martin on March 12, 2010
This self-published book is an invitation to a lawsuit, I am sure. Mr. Barr murders the English language as he slanders students and staff alike in a variety of school settings. Please, please do not waste your time or money on his demented ravings. He has strange tendencies to avenge a job dismissal that he was most certainly justified in receiving. You'll agree with me if you, too, spend even five minutes with this book. And then, like me, you will want your five minutes back!
Poor is an understatment
By The GV Kid on February 15, 2012
Disgusting how this author uses real names (of CHILDREN nonetheless). The book is the ranting of a person who, by his own testimony, was rightfully terminated from a job. His details on his daily routines demonstrate that it is in fact his lack of skills that were the problem, not all those people that he has libeled with this book.
