US books in the UK

**G* R* <g*@tiscali.co.uk>**

One or two North American garden writers with whom I've talked have
expressed disappointment at the way their books have been handled by
co-edition publishers in the UK. It's true that North American
publishers can be reluctant to adapt their books to the UK market -
at the same time inisting that UK publishes adapt theirs for the US!
But today I received an emailing from the UK publisher Collins &
Brown about Gardener's Problem Solver - Expert Answers to Real-life
Gardening Dilemmas by Miranda Smith... whom I think is on this list.
I signed up for the Collins & Brown emails as a customer (not a
journalist) so it's good to know that they're on the ball as far as
publicising their titles (home grown or imported) to prospective
buyers.
I'd be interested to know from Miranda (on or off list) as to how she
felt she was treated by Collins & Brown.
[Declaration of interest: I consult for BT Batsford, an imprint in
the same publishing group as Collins & Brown.]
