Do not buy this book, it's just a bunch of wikipedia articles which you can get for free. The people who made this "book" also made thousands of other "books" that are also just a bunch of wikipedia articles, and expect people to pay up to $100 for the"books":

Opps, forgot to mention that Alphascript Publishing publishes these "books" (aka Scams). Avoid them!

I don't really know if you could call these a scam. It's not like they don't tell the book's full of Wikipedia article. Lame, yeah. Scam, no.

WOW. Not cool though. Eitherway, seriously. I don't know who would buy it though.

I know that they've done quite a few Star Trek books in a similar fashion.
