I can see why Ian doesn't want to take the fight.
And the value of Headstamp Publishing lies in the kind of books he and others have and will write about guns and other niche subjects.
But if he wants to branch into proper publishing, they should remember the attacks and deaths related to Salman Rushdies Satanical Verses and the fact that no one backed down, even while publishers were shot, translators murdered and book stores firebombed.
Yeah, I totally see the comercial reasons why a publishing house wouldn't wanna touch this guy with a 10ft pole (if he is indeed radioactive material as they say). But if the manuscript was good, than the world is losing a good book because the author incurred in wrongthink, (even if that doesn't show in his writin).

If he's as radioactive as they say he is it hurts the legitimatacy of the manuscript
