It really makes me so cross when this info is so freely available. This latest book from Damien Lewis annoyed me considerably ..given that the raid in question was in 1940s continental Europe, why is a 1950s UK steam loco involved ?

Note that it is unavailable on Amazon. Someone's twigged that this is a reprint of Conroy's book published in 1928 (my copy is not with me).

I note on ABE Books various Indian reprints of books - this one is on "Print on demand" from some organisation in India. Enough said.

That cover is a particularly fine fine effort at abstract art by AI.

Its remarkable, the more I look at it ..... the less I see (less realistic things, that is)

If it's not Indian, it'll be the Chinese doing it.

At the end of the day, they don't really observe foreign copyright, so everything is fair game for them.

AI slop in dead tree format it would appear. Since the original book was published as far back as 1928, author is definitely gone to his reward and the publishers are probably out of business for decades, no one to pursue a copyright case.
