You were working without a contract.

I would suggest that is the whole reason this experienced sucked, not because of Apress.

Not quite, he actually might have been working with a contract depending on what the communications were between Apress and Mike.

An oral contract with implied commitments on both sides can still be legally binding. It is certainly possible to sue someone for breach of an oral contract.

While that certainly explains some of it, they still failed to pay for months after a contract was in place.
