Gabrielle Blair is the creator of Ejaculate Responsibly, a brand new e-book out this week described as “moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies and instead directs the focus on men’s lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies.”
On October thirteenth, she tweeted about some “book drama” occurring round this title: a number of prospects who had pre-ordered the e-book via Bookshop.org acquired one thing completely different within the mail: books from Focus on the Family, a Christian anti-choice group.
Bookshop.org replied to the shoppers who acquired these books incorrectly that this had occurred a number of occasions, and that the error traces again to the warehouse/distributor, Ingram. Ingram is without doubt one of the largest e-book distributors within the U.S., supplying over 40,000 retailers with titles, together with Barnes and Noble and lots of impartial bookstores.
According to the Bookshop.org e-mail, a “rogue Ingram employee” was chargeable for swapping orders for Blair’s e-book with spiritual tracts, and that they’re at the moment working with Ingram to resolve this difficulty.
…And that’s the Weird Book News of the day.
