I feel like this is a rough draft... no one in their right mind would release such a poor quality advertisement. It is common practice in advertising to create rough cuts using "borrowed" materials, perhaps this is only an outline.

Copyright infringement or not, that was one seriously shoddy and dare I say cheese ball promo video. It made me "not" want to read her book lol.

The city pictured at 36 is New Crobuzon from China Miéville's Perdido Street Station another great Steampunk book.

Thank you for the information about the artists!

I did some research into this -- the people that produced the video were given files, and whoever gave them the files (Either the Author, or Penguin, or someone hired by either) had to check a box certifying that they owned all rights to all uploaded content. So the company that produced this video is not at fault.

@faerydragonet: You are a pillock. I don't even care why you've boycotted it, because when I see a book like this one which seems to be using a gimmick to get it sold I think "atleast it's not twilight".

[tartanbodybag]

Why? It's not the authors fault, it's the fault of the advertising company that produced this.

[faerydragonet]

I have posted a boycott for this book on my lj and facebook.

Octavia Pie: Sounds like one of those Bond girls who gets killed at the early in the movie right after she sleeps with 007!

They already removed it from the site, it seems.
