  Re: [Aroid-l] [] Caveat emptor - "book" scam via Amazon

Peter - have you tried to report this unscrupulous guy to Amazon?  I don't know how easy that is but it would be worth the trouble if you had a few minutes to spare.  Thanks for the warning.

Dear All,

 

Something unpleasant has come to light via Amazon – although it seems that Amazon itself is totally innocent.

 

One or more “publishers’ are offering for sale “books” on various aroid subjects that are simply print-offs of Wikipedia pages or downloads and prints of pdfs available free from BHL.

 

Of particular note are “publications” by a “publisher” called Books LlC  that are Wiki data dumps, and various parts of Engler’s monographic studies such as the Monographiae Phanerogamarum.
