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\u003eSome people carried on buying the original edition from Amazon as the marketplace stays open for returns forever. I cannot change this situation and decided to allow both editions to remain on sale. I prefer the latest edition. It's more appropriate for a younger audience or women to read. The sections rewritten\/removed don't harm the flow of the story one bit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo prevent confusion over editions, I've priced the first edition at  24.93 and revised edition at  18.95 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhichever one you buy, I hope you enjoy my twenty four year life story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15844356\"\u003eGarry Richard Bagnell\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798370575440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8370575447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-NAT\"\u003eNature\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-NAT043000\"\u003eAnimals | Birds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44537100697837,"sku":"9798370575440","price":38.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b1144b4c-4315-4c43-8e60-bea175fef9d4.jpg?v=1701436420","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/twitching-by-numbers-twenty-four-years-of-chasing-rare-birds-around-britain-and-ireland-9798370575440","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
