[Bellerophon]

Having been the co-author of a few books, the best known being The
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Motorcycles, I can tell you about our experience with
the publisher Hamyln.
They asked us to write the book which was printed in Hong Kong, however
there were several printing errors
which we pointed out, alas, they said the book is selling very well and we
seen no reason to change anything, we could do nothing.
Subsequently, the publishing rights were sold on several times with each
time a new addition being released, however, the last time all reference to
myself and all the other people who had a credits were removed.
So all I can tell you is that if your work is to be produced over seas be
very careful, as you can find that you have no control whatsoever.
The best of luck to all prospective authors.
My regards,
Bellerophon
