It appears that you have made lots of assumptions. The fact is, we are
carrying those two books on our "Gerbil Book Listing"as you can see for
yourself at:
http://www.gerbils.org.uk/books/gerbils/book_listing/gerbil_books.html
Our initial email said that: "We want to point out, that we would have
featured Barron's "Gerbils" (made in collaboration with Ehrenfried
Ehrenstein) or "Gerbils and Jirds" written by Brian Leiper, as books of the
month for June 2000. Sadly, the very poor availability of these superb
books prohibited such a review." 3-5 weeks is very poor availability - we
did not say that they were not available at all.
If you had bothered to look at the section you would have seen that books
that have been featured have reviews and are highlighted. That does not
mean that other books are left out altogether.
Instead of making slanderous accusations you should get your facts right!
