In a protest meant to draw attention to the struggles of independent bookstores, a British children's author is demanding his book not be sold on Amazon.co.uk.
George Walker, author of Tales From An Airfield, was horrified to find that his new title was featured on the site without his permission, following good sales in bookshops. "What they are actually doing is getting the independents to do their market research," said Mr Walker, a passionate advocate of independents. "When a book gets a certain amount of attention, they will attempt to stock it and cut the independents out. Not with my book!"
