That someone would sell this is shameful
Yes--old Wikipedia articles rehashed and barely proofread. Wikipedia's coverage of esp. Indian and Pakistani topics is bad: everyone's uncle sticks their name in the article for their caste, copyediting is seen as an insult, and references are not to be found. This book collects a bunch of those and charges you--wait, no way, $333? Browse through the title using Google Books and you'll see why you shouldn't even read this if they pay you. The ultimate irony is the editor (fragmentary) remark on his book, "In the face of achieving the target of universal supremacy." Right on.
