"Not With My Book!"

Nick Tannner reports in the U.K.’s Guardian Unlimited that children’s author George Walker has demanded that his book be removed from amazon.com.

From the article:

George Walker, author and publisher of "Tales from an Airfield," was horrified to find that his new title was featured on the site without his permission, following good sales in bookshops. "What they are actually doing is getting the independents to do their market research," said Mr Walker, a passionate advocate of independents. "When a book gets a certain amount of attention, they will attempt to stock it and cut the independents out. Not with my book!"

Walker has urged readers to seek out independent bookstores and to use sites such as localbookshops.co.uk. Walker, who published "Tales from an Airfield" himself, said, "We take a very long-term view of this... We have taken a stand to support local bookshops - that's how we want to sell our book."
