Why didn&#x27;t the author name the publisher? So librarians, unfamiliar with esoteric fields can put a black mark next to that publisher&#x27;s name and only buy from that publisher if requested or approved by an academic in that field. Surely the reputation damage that should be inflicted would stop such practises <i>if</i> <i>they</i> <i>exist</i>. But we have a claim with no evidence at this point.
