Folks,

For those of you who are buying or thinking of buying my book 'How To Become A Professional Hunter In Africa' please be warned that you can buy the hardcover here at the normal price.

Whatever you do, don't buy the hardcover version from Amazon.co.uk where Bowi Media are advertising it for the greatly inflated price of almost UKP150!

Amazon themselves are authorised to sell the Kindle version for the normal price but are not authorised to sell the hardcover or ebook versions & Bowi Media are not authorised to sell ANY version.

It would not be so bad if you got a fair chunk of the 150 quid.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I got my copy last year and it is a great book. A lot of good information.

Get a lawyer bud! Go for "lost revenue" now and projected because of their actions. Then go after penalty money. You worked hard and long on that book. Do not let the wankers steal from you and your family. Knowing you action is already pending but I hate this type of thing. If it isn't copyright infringement it is something like this. A thief is a thief no matter what.

Mike,

I wish I could sue them but am told what they're doing isn't illegal & there's nothing I can do to stop it.

The story from the publishers is that this company is advertising my book at that price and when they get buyers, they buy from my publisher, online or from a store and then sell on at a massive profit so I still get my money and they make the additional profit.

Capitalism at it's finest!
