Consolidating from another thread:

I just received this e-mail this morning.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Hi There

I have just been informed of the mail you placed on the Trail Talk Forums.
We translate and publish these owners handbooks and ask people who are requesting the book for photo's of their vehicle's, I had no idea we were given photo's we weren't allowed to use if you would like us to remove them from our book please let me know.

We have all our details inside the front cover if they are not there someone may be copying the books or removing pages, could you please let me know who you ordered the book from so I can check this out.

I sorry if we offended you in any way by using your / club photo's.
If anyone from your club would like a copy of the book let me know and I will send it to them at half price + post.

Thanks,

The manual can't be helped, I suppose. It is big business (for these traders) buying used Japanese vehicles and re-selling them in other (right-hand drive) markets.

UK
Africa
Australia
New Zealand
and so on...

The problem arises when buyers want manuals, that correspond with the options on their vehicle. Somebody (probably a trader) has gone to the effort of translating the Japanese manuals, and also included photos of vehicles belonging to other people. I was going to suggest that it might have been someone actually on the list from down there...but posts later in the thread suggested otherwise.

I was rebuilding my 91 Trooper and checking out the auctions for several months. What amazed me was the number of foreign buyers there. Australian, New Zealander...and the largest, the Pakistanis. The auction houses love it. The foreigners buy vehicles (usually) that couldn't be re-sold in Japan.

You guys should contact the publisher and have them attribute credit for the photos...maybe even a link to this site. That way, we all benefit from the new membership. There's no such thing as too many fellow owners around the world.
