Re: [lidos] New Statesman - A bigger splash

Kate's hardback book (£16.99) has featured entries on the following outdoor
pools:

Bude Sea Pool, Devon*
Chagford Swimming Pool, Devon*
Ilkley Lido, West Yorkshire
Jesus Green Pool, Cambridge
Jubilee Pool, Penzance, Cornwall
Pells Pool, Lewes, East Sussex
Sandford Parks Lido, Cheltenham, Gloucs.
Shoalstone Seawater Pool, Brixham, Devon
Tinside Lido, Plymouth, Devon

- all with superb photographs by Dominick Tyler.

There is also a whistle-stop tour with brief entries on:
Richmond Pools in the Park, Tooting Bec Lido, Serpentine Lido, London Fields
Lido, Parliament Hill Lido, Hampstead Heath Mixed Pond - all in London.

In the section on tidal seawater pools there are features on:

Dancing Ledge, Dorset
Perranporth, Cornwall
Porthtowan, Cornwall*
The Hoe & Devil's Point, Plymouth
Tommy's Pit, Bude, Cornwall

There are also fully featured entries with photographs on 50 or so other
swims in lakes, rivers, sea coves, beaches, lochs and ponds.

You can imagine I was less than happy when I discovered that 70% of my
website had been copied without my permission for the Resources section of
Kate's book, with subtle changes in the descriptive text of each of the 127
entries so as to not infringe my copyright. Errors have crept in too - Kate
or I will post a list in due course. Naturally I raised all this with the
publisher, GuardianBooks - you will be pleased to know that this dispute has
now been resolved.
