Plagiarism does't pay

Following many years of research I was able to publish my work and sales and feedback have justified the effort.
So I was disappointed when I bought a publication earlier this year which included photographs and direct extracts of my text, even though my work had been acknowledged in part. What upset me most of all was that the author had actually previously asked me if I would contribute but I had declined.
Following protracted negotiations between my lawyer and the publisher an agreement has been reached. I have now been financially compensated for the breach of copyright and the publisher has conceded they used the information without first obtaining permission.
Should anyone require help or further details please contact me privately.
