John Clements unimpressed at shovelware he found on Amazon (amazon.co.uk)

You might find the review at the bottom entertaining. I've seen a few of these books on amazon - basically selling printouts of wikipedia articles. Not sure why they let it stand.

Looks like the "book" has been yanked from amazon.com, though it's still up on amazon.co.uk at this moment. Likely it will soon be gone from there as well.

I'm the author of "Land of Lisp" and a while back someone posted a book named "Land of Lisp 2" which contained all the text from PG's "On LIsp" in it :-)

(we got it taken down)
