"High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!"

Well, I probably read the wikipedia articles yes.

What on earth is this book. Cut-and-paste material from open sources, published as a paperback with a totally anonymous and silly cover, sold for over 60 pounds?

Yikes! This sounds like a total scam. I see they also 'assembled' books on Xanadu - Dragonslayer 2 (EUR 31), Dragon Quest (EUR 77) and Commando (EUR 59), and undoubtedly many other games that other people have devoted web sites on.

It is probably like those guide books and walkthrough published on text magazines. There are FAQ's on the NET with almost the same information.

At least it is *brand new*.
