Kharkov-42... and authorship rights violation

[karlenko]

It is very unpleasant incident, indeed.
Due to this mistake I can lost the co-author and partner, but to get mistrust and bad reputation.
Now I try to communicate with publisher, however all my messages come back for the unknown "technical" reason...

Hi,

I had similar problems several years ago, the publisher ( after being 'threatened' with legal action ) sent loose leaf flyers to the main retail outlets for the book and attached a sticker inside the books they had in stock. Reprints appeared correctly!

HTH

This 'oversight' by the Publisher is outrageous, to say the least. I know it myself, as I am upset even when they omit to include the proper diacritical (accent) marks on my name, let alone forgetting a co-author altogether.

However, let me point out, this is not the first time this particular French Publisher has problems with the authors' names. In their 1st 'Hors-Série' book, on the Bf 109 in Rumanian colours, they forgot to include some of the co-authors as well. Not to mention the many mislabelled and wrongly credited photos. And none of the co-authors ended up on the cover!

I fully sympathise with Vlad (and Dmitriy), and I think this matter should be pushed further until a compromise solution would be found (as David mentioned, for example). That's the least the Publisher can do.

Denes, Dmitriy, Vlad, perhaps we should start a club?

A club of what?
Will you be part of it?

[Vlad Antipov]

Franek, I think that the sarcasm in this case is inappropriate.
But a member of this "club" can be only the onewho writes books and is engaged in a history.

My English not so good. But I think you understand that I want to tell

Sarcasm absolutely justified. My article was also published there without my name.
