Contacted them. They get their books from distributors. They will check which distributor and will ban the book for sale from their list.

I contacted them. They said they get it from a distributor. I asked them to let me know who the distributor is. Waiting to find out. They said they will blacklist the book on their list and won't sell it.

Looks like someone got the page proofs illegally. Yes, it was typeset.

When I get to the bottom of what happened I will let you know. In the meantime, could you please indicate to your followers the actual state of things? There certainly was no intention on my part or Rebecca's to have this work surface. Quite the opposite.

Whether there is a pirated edition that someone got published (and somehow got the page proofs?) is up for speculation. My editor says he will get the Amazon and Barnes and Noble listing taken down. But I want you to know this has nothing to do with me or Rebecca.

Sami, I don't know what is going on.Your post was the first I have heard about this bootleg edition. I am in touch with Routledge to find out what happened. I had zero knowledge of this and my editor at Routledge as well as Rebecca have no knowledge.

Thank you. This is both shocking and horrible. For many reasons. I'm in communication with Routledge right now.

Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?

Can you show me the contents of the book, because neither I nor Routledge have put this book out. Thank you.

AI Gone Wild: Fake Books Sold on Amazon
Generative AI has been a wildly innovative tool, but like all tools, it's something used nefariously. Case in point: fake books.

Hi Sami
I can't explain this photo, except to say that the picture doesn't show a book, only a single page. If there is a book out there, it wasn't published by Routledge. I would have a copy and so would my editor.

I notified the editor at Routledge who will get the Amazon and Barnes and Noble listings taken down. I would appreciate it if you could let your followers know this. Thank you.
