A little over a week ago, Darren at the Little Chimp Society blogged about this book, revealing how it had pirated all its contents from his site, along with hundreds of images by 93 different illustrators.

We then promptly started blogging about this, encouraging others to do the same, and flooded social networks with calls of "Don't Buy This Book!" And guess what?

Our "shame campaign" has yielded more results: Index Books has agreed to stop selling it and has sent the remaining copies back to the distributor. Check out the update on Darren's blog.

This is all due to YOUR help! Hundreds, maybe thousands of you, spreading the news around the net and around the globe, and cramming comments onto tagged blogs that talked about it. We can't thank you enough for helping out! :)

It gets better. Index Books has also revealed who their supplier for this book was:

Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
