I notice that Lambert Academic Publishing are linked to VDM; indeed, the management team and the address are identical, as is the content of the web-sites [http://www.vdm-publishing.com/] except for the curious difference that VDM is in German and English, while Lambert is in Russian and English.
A while ago someone I know was approached by VDM, seeking, somewhat aggressively, I thought, to publish his thesis. The offer looked distinctly odd to me, though as far as I remember, the visible problem was not so much financial, as relating to control over content, plus a general uneasy impression that the offer looked too good to be true. Perhaps there is someone else who has had an approach from VDM (or any other of their off-shoots?) who could enlighten us further.
In the meantime the collective wisdom of this list could consider the question why the name Lambert is thought more likely to appeal to a Russian academic author than VDM.
