This is totally disrespectful and unprofessional conduct as book editor. I hope you will not have such a horrible thing in academic life!!

[Dr Tsubasa Shinohara @Tsubasashinoha]

My book chapter is normally published this February but it was excluded without any notification. The editor told me that it was his mistake and he did not realise when he submit this book manuscript to the publisher.
