I also wish the Wikimedia Foundation would do something about these books.

Here is one by me, or by Wikipedia, but NOT by Frederic P. Miller,
Agnes F. Vandome (Editor), and John McBrewster (Editor).

The byline apart, it's disturbing that someone might be conned into
paying $77 for it, when they can download it for free.
