I have a number of colleagues who had published with them, and I must say that they were not fully happy with the contract they received. It boils down to the number of books that need to be sold before they get some financial benefit. So, my advise would be to be very careful and to compare with other available publishers.

I agree that there is no financial benefit in publishing with them: number of books before any return, but also they do not do the marketing/advertising they claim before contract.
This being said, there is little risk. It could be useful to boast of a published thesis available on Amazon, just like Research Gate can play a supportive role for some researchers of developping countries or whose work concerns something in wihch 'the establishment of Acadmia is not interested.
I have published two books through the early version VDM-VERLAG. You may not get any financial benefit but you can get a copy of your book free of cost. That could be beneficial to enrich your resume.
"Bose adapted this lecture into a short article called "Planck's Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta"[1][2] and submitted it to the Philosophical Magazine. However, the referee's report was negative, and the paper was rejected. Undaunted, he sent the manuscript to Albert Einstein requesting publication in the Zeitschrift für Physik. Einstein immediately agreed, personally translated the article into German.. and saw to it that it was published." (from the above Wiki link)
Surely ZfP was a mainstream publication?
lambert provide just only copy to authour but if you need more you can get it with lower offers fees.
Dear Asaad
The Project Guttenberg, which is an Internationally acclaimed project, has started Free online publication of Books. You won't get any money, but you will get good readership and exposure, and initially this is what you want, isn't it (as they say!)
Check their site and see; may be worth while and certainly better than private publishers who may cheat you or make you pay
Partridge etc. too have self publishng packages I think

I had published my PhD with them, you can see it on my site on ResearchGate. It is good for beginners in publishing, particularly for publishing your MSc and PhD thesis. But, you won't get any money, and you have to pay to get a hard copy!.
I have published 3 books. I agree with Emad Abdallah regarding money.
Look this up, please

Author pays to have a hard copy of his/her own published work? That too a Book?, A journal article is a case I can imagine..but a book.? (I can't even believe it completely)
it sounds too much to me! I agree if they don't pay you anything for the book, but providing a hard copy for the Author is the least any publisher could do!
