Hmm...

I wonder what that contains. I would consider buying it but the price is a bit steep.

The bolded part is what I noticed right off and had me suspicious of said book.

Bizarre to say the least and certainly not worth taking seriously. I think the Rs stands for 'rupees' which shows where this type of crap is coming from.

From their website (Philosophy):

Quote:

Nearly all media worldwide – such as newspapers, magazines, TV – use internet for their researches and as a basis for their texts. This is exactly what Betascript publishing does. And we go even further: with the Wikipedia-texts at free disposal we create books on interesting topics.

There is hardly another platform for quick and better processing of information than by Wikipedia – and this is too for the benefit of the Betascript publishing-readers who want to be informed on a specific subject. Of course you can have online everything free of charge, but for good reason you have decided for a book. Betascript publishing is internet in form of a book. There can hardly be a faster process.

In other words they steal the work of others off the internet and sell it to people who are unaware that it is availble for free.

Bottomfeeders.
