Associated Press are reporting that the planned release of ‘The Jewel of Medina’ is under doubt following the alleged arson at the offices of Gibson Square.
Alan Jessop of Compass, Gibson Square’s sales representative, said that publisher Martin Rynja has put “publication in suspended animation while he reflects and takes advice on what the best foot forward is.”
The US publisher of The Jewel of Medina yesterday closed its offices as a "precautionary action", but intends to go ahead with publication. Borders Group Inc have confirmed they will sell the book in stores, however Waterstones has said that they are undecided as to whether to do so due to safety concerns for both customers and employees.
Three men suspected of involvement with the fire at Gibson Square are still being questioned by London Metropolitan Police.
