Even if there were problems with her second book, what were they supposed to do? - Apart from asking her to confirm there were no problems with the material in the first book. Which I assume they did. One can't expect them to examine every book on the subject ever published just to see if there had been any plagiarism. The fault here clearly lies with the author. I assume she signed a contract confirming the work was her own. If I were them I would sue her for any loss of profits on books that had to be destroyed or recalled...Kauri Bookendnoreply@blogger.com
