It has nothing to do with being Malaysian. To answer Aneeta's query on why she can't get on to the Amazon, I've put in an entry at my blog.Lydia Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477088362900591404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1151631724194475712006-06-30T09:42:00.000+08:002006-06-30T09:42:00.000+08:00thanks so much, Ronstill a bit weak and wobbly but...thanks so much, Ron<BR/><BR/>still a bit weak and wobbly but otherwise fine and welcoming the return of my appetite!bibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1151626750687383032006-06-30T08:19:00.000+08:002006-06-30T08:19:00.000+08:00Off-topic, Sharon, but just popping in hoping that...Off-topic, Sharon, but just popping in hoping that your fever is all cleared up now.<BR/><BR/>And to wish you a good weekend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094574872650885802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1151623947407391702006-06-30T07:32:00.000+08:002006-06-30T07:32:00.000+08:00aneeta - you're welcomedean - as far as i know wha...aneeta - you're welcome<BR/><BR/>dean - as far as i know what you need is some kind of agent over there to distribute your books - no legal problem with it (i've had this conversation before with a local publisher and if they want to know the ins and outs of getting their books on the US market they can ask him) but of course a host of logistical problemsbibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1151581247854668932006-06-29T19:40:00.000+08:002006-06-29T19:40:00.000+08:00I went to their Web site to read about the book, a...I went to their Web site to read about the book, and I did. They linked to the same review in Canada that you did, but I didn't read very much -- too many typos.<BR/><BR/>They seem very upset that they can't sell via Amazon. However there must be a good reason for this. Before they spread the word that Amazon doesn't encourage divesity, they should contact a lawyer who has knowledge of publishing in those countries, to find out why those restrictions are in place.<BR/><BR/>I think they are taking it a bit personally, to be entirely truthful. I don't think it has anything to do with their being Malaysian. If they were Ecuadorian they'd have the same problem.<BR/><BR/>I understand that lawyers cost money to do the least little thing for you, but it would probably put them at ease, and prevent them from attracting negative opinions. I certainly don't think there's anything nefarious about Amazon's position. As I said: there's no doubt a very good, legal reason for it.Matthew da Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158988637117138260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-1151550388508142022006-06-29T11:06:00.000+08:002006-06-29T11:06:00.000+08:00sharon.many, many thanks for publishing this post ...sharon.<BR/><BR/>many, many thanks for publishing this post and the various links. <BR/><BR/>aneetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
