Has anyone bought this new CV book?

Just saw this new book that was published back in July of this year and it sounds like it uses mostly Wikipedia information. Has anyone heard about this book, purchased one or perhaps was involved in it's creation.

In the other hand it is written in the description of the article : "High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!"

 

So nothing more than wikipedia article... not really interresting.

It is a scam. It should be an outrage, to the public, against Amazon. It's underhanded crap, and it *should* be beneath the dignity of Amazon to sell something like that. It's not.

In fact there are two books about Toledo Nanochess (my own chess program!!!,) one by Lambert Surhone and other by Jesse Russell. Both say "quality content provided by Wikipedia".

 

What makes me to wonder because the Wikipedia entry for Toledo Nanochess barely fills a page for a book.

 

These things should be prohibited because trigger people to think there is indeed a book about my chess program.

 

Besides these pirates are earning dollars for each book (somewhere I've read one of these "editors" have 300,000 different books published based on Wikipedia articles)
