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.
