Elvira Press describes itself as an acad4emic press that will publish anything academic on demand: " We are interested to publish academic papers. We publish bachelor’s and master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, edited volumes, professional books, research monographs, lecture notes, textbooks, collection of papers, proceedings." Moreover, "you may publish with different publisher. It is recommended to provide references on Eliva Press book." Don't ask me what bthat means. Elvira's address, which does not appear on the spam, is Bulevardul Moscova 21, of 805, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, Europe.
Its list of reviewers begins with "Prof. Edward L. Rubin, University Professor of Law and Political Science at Vanderbilt University." In contrast, another reviewer has no reported affiliation. He is "Gerhard Lechner ... an independent scientist [who] studied philosophy (PhD) and economics and worked in practice in the banking and insurance sector" after writing his dissertation on "Transcendence and Immanence of God in the works of Giordano Bruno" at an unnamed university. An FAQ reveals that this review is not a normal part of the publishing process of this academic press. It explains that "Yes, we do provide peer review as a premium optional paid service."

Dear D. H. Kaye,
I hope you’re having a great day.
Last week, I contacted you about publishing your research papers in book form.
I was wondering if you have had a chance to look at my previous email?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
