Has anyone any knowledge of where this has come from?

Amazon are being very coy and the author is untraceable!

Maybe someone has lifted articles from Wiki to publish the book...

Author is Books LLC

Such "books" are now common on Amazon, at least on the US version. I bought a similar book on Velocette's bankruptcy but was disappointed to find no real meat, just material that had probably been lifted from public records or some other non-copyrighted source. Once over lightly, and lots of errors. A similar scam involves "books" entitled The (insert your last name here) Name in History. Full of generic information but nothing really specific.

Don't waste your money. Buy a real book instead!

I'm more concerned with how much of my work has been lifted!
