I decided to remove the offending passages and rewrite these early years and republish as \"Twitching by numbers: A birder's hectic life as he chases rare species across Britain and Ireland\". \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe the first edition is still available on Amazon, as the marketplace stays open for returns forever. I would prefer Amazon to only sell the second edition now but I'm powerless over this. The second edition is more appropriate to a younger\/female audience. The sections rewritten\/removed will not harm the story one bit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garry Richard Bagnell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798370575440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Garry Richard Bagnell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133045043455,"sku":"9798370575440","price":30.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd83ab1d-a556-461f-aa80-15e983e6d05d.jpg?v=1687483766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twitching-by-numbers-garry-richard-bagnell-9798370575440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
