There is currently a plethora of such "works" on the internet, and sadly it's buyer beware. See Dick Petit's two "Bad Books" papers, Conchologia Ingrata 10 and 11, available free at www.conchologia.com

Subject: [CONCH-L] re- misnomer book

I would like to draw the attention to a book which does not contain anything to do with the title cover:
Lambert M. Surhone, Mariam T. Tennoe, Susan F. Henssonow (Ed.), 2011.
GALEOMMATIDAE; Betascript publishing.
It contains short articles on various molluscan families copied from Wikipedia BUT nothing on the Galeommatidae!!!!
