It's an Amazon store, which they can add any book to. Probably to inflate their SEO and/or recommend marketing books to their authors.I'm just wondering if that podcasting book is on their page in error. I HOPE it's on their page in error.
Tell them they'll be a lot less disappointed if they just burn the money.Yes, it's definitely, 100% a pay-for-play site.
I'm upset because they're about to take a close family friend for everything he owns unless I can convince him to walk away--and I've probably got about a week, tops.
If you click the "...new and used" link then the "back to product information" link, you get to the regular Amazon page with the publisher being the expected "For Dummies."
