The number I dialled was not recognised. - No it is clearly not an active number

If you Google the number in its local UK form (02072537887) it belongs to Gloucester Publishing Limited, and you should be able to find other contact details.

Probably because they have changed it and Google is not aware. I suspect that there may have been a change of ownership/company structure and the contact number has changed as a result of this. If this is the same organisation I tried to contact for you a few months ago (I can't now remember the details) I also got the strong impression that they did not readily accept any incoming calls that were not simply questions about what books they published and where to buy them. Good luck but I think you are probably trying to enter a well-guarded fortress.

Maybe it is time to move on. Should you think of doing another translation perhaps it would be wise to contact the original author first and have the author's support from the start. I'm sure this would give you a big advantage.

I had exchanged several emails with the author & the company before, but now I cannot access them apparently, since I sent them a post as they wanted me, but got no answer. I suspect the post never reached them but I am not sure

Why do people think I would've printed the books if I where not aloud to?

Hello.
I think this title is more descriptive than a previous one, isn't it?
