I have been unable to answers all of the emails sent to me and I apologize for this, but 600 and counting emails is a lot.

Index Book and Azur Corporation have informed me that Index Book are sorry that they made a mistake by giving me Azur’s contact information as their supplier, but Index Book are yet to update their site with the correct information. I’m still working my way up the chain to find the company or people behind Great Creativity organization (Which as far as I know is a fake publisher) and Index book are still happily selling ‘Colorful Illustrations 93°C’. Hopefully the AOI or GAG will do their bit and put a stop to the sale of the book, but they are currently waiting for their members to make contact and supply them with more information before they can proceed in anyway.

I will not personally be considering legal action until the publisher is found and we have someone to sue, I’m leaving it in the hands of the cummunity and the organizations that represent the illustration community, like the AOI or GAG to try and put a stop to the sale of this book.

Here is the contact information for Index Book’s supplier.

I have not contacted them yet, as I wanted to get the information out that Azur was only connected due to Index Book’s mistake. If anyone contacts Sophia at Sendpoint before me and please feel free to, please relay her response to me by emailing darren at lcsv4 dot com. I’m guessing I’ll hit a language barrier if I try to phone them, but what I’m after is who and where they got the book from. There are to many resellers selling this for it to have come from small market stall. Sendpoint have a pre-print copy of one of the pages on their site so I’m hoping they will be of more help, because the image hasn’t been taken from the book and must have been supplied to them.

Also as a result of this situation I’m working out the details of a lowbrow LCS magazine with a few friends at the moment, let me know by emailing me if you’re interested in a pre-ordering a copy.
