They sent me a questionnaire each time and then they used it to write the blurb, which I must say I didn't recognise as me, but although the content of my books was unique at the time (that's why they were so eager to publish) the publisher didn't make that claim. We were surprised that, after the first one, someone else didn't jump on the bandwagon. Not that I'm complaining as they're still selling twenty years after the first one was published. For the curious, they're instructions on making clothing and other items for horse and rider. My gripe was the comment ".....is largely responsible for reviving interest in this craft." as if no-one else was. By the time it was published in English, other "modern" instructions books were beginning to appear. I doubt that before then English speakers would have been clamouring to get their hands on a copy of a book in a language they couldn't understand. We think nothing of doing that now.
