Just did a quick search via the ISBN number and found it has yet to be reviewed by anyone, has no descriptive info whatsoever and apparently the short paragraph provided still includes the reference to the race to space that was once on the wiki pages.
How they could find enough in Wikipedia to fill a paperback book even of this size stumps me unless they have some program that catches every reference to Fc and anyone mentioned in connection with it then collects it all to be reproduced in this form.
I suppose it might be possible to find enough material to fill a paperback if one used every reference to the area as well as the short reference to the college I just don't believe it all comes from the wiki pages which is the apparent source.
Makes me suspect they do this sort of stuff just to sell something not any real book in any traditional sense.
Of course the sellers of this say you can return it and you get back your payment in the same way you paid for it so I suppose one might get it then return it after reading it....
