IMITATION IS SUPPOSED TO THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY - OR IS IT IN CHINA?

It appears that a Chinese-American gentleman(sic) by the name of Zhao Aiguo (resident in Philadelphia) has completely copied  my book, World Swords 1600-1945 An Illustrated Price Guide for Collectors and published it under his own name!


Please be aware Mr Aiguo that your complete disregard for my ownership of the copyright for this book will be spread far and wide on the internet.  For any of you who are interested in seeing who this person is, see below at these book shots that he is using to advertise the book for sale. Amazing!








The web site where these page shots were placed is http://bbs.sssc.cn/viewthread.php?tid=1061789&extra=page%3D2&page=10

I checked back today and they appear to have disappeared - maybe Mr Zhao Aiguo has got the message but he has still stolen my book in its entirety and I will be checking the internet very carefully for any of his illegal activities.
