Stealth Press?

Recently found a bunch of Stealth Press editions from c. 2001--mostly
reprints of one- or two-decades-old thrillers. Very attractively
produced, these copies appear not to have been read--I'm guessing a
batch of review copies that never were reviewed.

I take it Stealth flamed out not too long ago. Anyone have any insight
or scoop?

Stealth Press had the idea that they would spend a lot of money (at
least several hundred thousand dollars, and probably over a million_
putting out lots of different quality books (including hardbacks of
things previously available only in paperback), and make it all back by
cutting out the middleman and selling directly to the public at full
price over the Internet.

I leave the issue of what happened next (and the inevitable comparison
to the Underpants Gnome's Business Plan) as an exercise for the
reader...
