[Groop] Fw: GROO Odyssey Hard Cover?

[eugene Phillip]

  Is anyone in the GROOP familiar with Gene Weingarten?  He replaced Dave Barry in some newspapers.  His article from 9/12/10 is about a company that produces hardcover books on about any person or subject you can Google, by using pages from Wikipedia and binding them only when they hook a customer from Amazon.  The price is $20.  He found the company, "Books LLC", and wrote to the company's PR manager, about the use of his name in a title.  He smelled law suit!

I know all about these things, but I don't have time right now.  Suffice to say that promethea is essentially correct, but it's a little more complicated.

  Looks like a hsrdbound softcover, - like someone just took it to a binder and had it done - I think the service could be for a lot less than $2000...

    Saw this on Ebay. It looks suspicious because the art work doesn't go to the edge.
    Does anyone know if there was a hard cover version?
