A for-profit publisher in England has just released an anthology titled "No War". At first glance, it looks like an original new book by Naomi Klein. It is not.

A statement by Naomi Klein, reposted from http://www.nologo.org:

A for-profit publisher in England has just released an anthology titled "No War". At first glance, it looks like an original new book by me. It is not.

The book contains one previously published magazine article by me that has been available free-of-charge on my website for eight months. I encourage readers interested in this article, titled “Baghdad Year Zero,” to download it here [http://www.nologo.org].

I am very concerned that readers will mistakenly believe that they are purchasing original writing, despite my best efforts to convince the publisher to clearly label the book what it is: an anthology of previously published articles by multiple authors.

"No War" is not my book; I had no role in choosing the title, and will accept no revenue from its sales.

I am currently writing an original non-fiction book that will be published in 2006.

Please direct any inquiries to media@nologo.org.

Sincerely,
Naomi Klein
