So, I got a gift card for B&N from my coworkers for Christmas. It's burning a hole in my pocket, plus I have a coupon for 20% off one item plus free shipping. So naturally, I go to B&N.com and look up GI Joe. And I run across these things:
G.I. Joe, Frederic P. Miller, (9786130844202) Paperback - Barnes & Noble Tomahawk (G.I. Joe), Lambert M. Surhone, (9786133116306) Paperback - Barnes & Noble Lady Jaye (G.I. Joe), Frederic P. Miller, (9786130843601) Paperback - Barnes & Noble It doesn't give a really good description as to what they are, but it looks like they are wikipedia articles printed off and bound together?!?!? For almost $60 a piece????? If anyone knows what these are, I'd definitely like to be enlightened.

Those prices are crazy! Looks almost like fan-fiction, although the listing is more like for an action figure.

It says they are "paperback". There are others. There was one for Snake Eyes and Toll Booth. Weird.

I'm just a lurker here but I like digging around on line to find out what stuff like this is.
VDM Publishing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The editors listed work for this company, they are at best shady, at worst out right scam artists. They basically take online reference materials that are gathered by the general public, wikipidea is the most cited "source" and publish it. I'd not go near anything they publish or are associated with. |
