From the iTC FAQs...



How do I remove a book from the iBookstore?
There are several options to remove a book from one or more territories.
Admin or Technical iTunes Connect users can:

  • Redeliver the same book via iTunes Producer. Open the iTunes Store Package with the book, go to Territory Rights, and uncheck the Cleared For Sale checkbox for the desired country.
  • Or, locate your book in Manage Your Books and click Edit Rights & Pricing. Then, click Edit for the territory you want to change, and select No in the Cleared For Sale field.

Ever heard of.. "Dont Shoot The Messenger".....


A questions was asked - the asnwer was given.

IF you were not happy with the answer and considered that unlike other you could not understand it... you could have - politely- asked for a clarification.


Also.. you can contact iBooks support very easily.


My Question is

who is allowing the fictitious answers that mean nothing but a waste of time

Fictitious - ie not true? What really wastes time is asking questions without looking on the forum for previous posts on the same subject. Another waste of time is attacking the very folk who try to help you.



Nobody allows anything on this forum, it all done voluntarily by dedicated folk who give up their time to help others. KT is perhaps the most knowledgeable on this forum - but without FULL information he cannot be expected to know what's in your mind.


Your book and everybody who submits it to the review team for inclusion in the store and is accepted - can NEVER be removed by its author. Apple require its history for accounting and inventory purposes.


Any author can withdraw a book from the store wether its free or paid account by using iTunes connect and navigate to the Rights and territories page and de-selecting either individual countries or all.

Apple then remove it from public access.


If you want to know how to remove anything from your personal purchasing... assuming you mean books downloaded to your iPad... simply delete it and also delete it from your iTunes account. If thats not enough information - then you need to find a different forum that one dealing with iBooks Author related issues.
