Welcome to the world of bootlegs.
I was quite surprised when a viewer commented on one of my videos about some mysterious Warriors books they had found. While digging, I found even more interesting books - ones that are ... problematic.. in my opinion.
In this video I will be going down the rabbit hole of mysterious knockoff books that have invaded the market.

I really think it would be cool if a bunch of artists teamed up and made an actually original fan coloring book.

@shibuyes 2 года назад

I don’t know for sure but I believe HarperCollins was cracking down on commercial fan creations after their official merch shop launched. (Not sure if they’re still actively doing it tho)

@rosalynparks1969 2 года назад

@@shibuyes Perhaps people could do it for free, I'd totally do that if other artists wanted to as well

@Cenmeow Год назад

you should check out zines! they're not coloring books but they're really cool because a bunch of artists collaborate to make a book with drawings and stuff

@starflower220 7 месяцев назад

Yep would be nice but probably wouldn't be affordable for normal day to day people. Not saying it's not justified, considering artists work hard, just saying there's probably no use publishing one because only a select few people would be able to buy em

@puppydogs68 Год назад

They weren’t?!

@kukuandkookie Год назад

@@puppydogs68 Ah, if you watch the video, it explains these kinds of special books began as eBooks before the company realized it was more profitable to sell physical copies of them, so they’d _only sell them in a 3-in-1 book_ (3 stories in 1 book). If you have a physical copy of a special like _Mapleshade’s Vengeance_ and it’s _only_ the one story (without two others to pair with it), then it’s not official. So technically speaking, they _are_ officially _published_ by HarperCollins; they’re just not officially _printed,_ because it’s supposed to be physically printed with 2 other stories _only,_ and unofficial copies don’t follow that rule. Hope that helps~

@SleepyCoffeeCup 2 года назад

A funny fun fact: Germany is one of the countries that has a lot of translated books from the warriors series. We don't have books that combine 3 Novellas into one book. We only have the Novellas separated if you buy them physically. Whch I think (now knowing that's not as easy for you guys to get) is pretty neat but likely also more expensive lmao- Edit: Also the artist that popped up in the stolen colouring book a lot looks VERY much like river spirit :,) poor her her art always gets stolen so often in this fandom-

@-VoDkAsVengeance- 2 года назад

What's funny to me is that River Spirit, the artist who had a lot of art traced and stolen, has been a popular Warriors artist for _years._ I instantly recognized not only their style but their main OC characters, since the amazon seller for some reason traced the very specific markings her character has under her eyes.

@ChiliPeppor 2 года назад

I actually have one of these coloring books. I got one as a gift for Christmas when i was OBSESSED with the books. I skimmed through and yeah its mainly the same art in your book. But I didn't see those funky backgrounds like in yours. Now having more knowledge I feel terrible for the artists who were stolen from. And that thing wasn't cheap it was around 30 dollars

I myself am from the Netherlands and here we don’t have the three-in-one novellas.

One of my old libraries, from my first college, had almost all the novellas in physical form. I'm kinda curious if they knew those were bootlegs.

@internetwolfje 2 года назад

The Dutch versions of the warrior cat books actually have non-bootleg novellas. Since I know so little about the English releases I didn’t even know these books were not released seperately from eachother originally. These books used to be exclusive to one bookstore but I am not sure if they ar anymore since I haven’t bought any of the books in a while.

@ranpo_edogawa 2 года назад

I have a version of Firestar's Quest where the printing is completely messed up. Basically once you're done reading one page and go to the next, it starts the page by SKIPPING AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH OR 2 that's supposed to be in the original. It does this for the entire book, so it's horribly disjointed and has some blank pages on the back left over due to this.
