Quote:Those first two are just printed copies of Wikipedia articles. Central Greece and the Politics of Power in the Fourth Century BC is, however, a real book, and a very good one on fourth century political history.
Yes, there are several of those 'wiki' books floating around, I recently purchased a book from Amazon on 15th c German fencing masters, turned out to simply be re-prints of the wiki articles (which I had already read).
