It does seem extraordinary. Putting together a bibliography out of wikipedia links and a text based on computer games is just taking the piss. Anyone interested enough in the subject to pay £20 for a book about it has surely moved beyond the basics!
Maybe there's more here than meets the eye? Perhaps somebody commissioned some original artwork from Mr Rava and then found they didn't have the budget to commission the accompanying text or pay for decent reproductions, so flung together the text as quickly as possible?
