Amiga 3000UX Book by Betascript Publishing

I was on eBay and I stumbled upon this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-3000ux-/350646043200?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item51a4220240
Does anyone know anything about this book? Is it a book researched like Brian Bagnall or is it just a collection of Wikipedia articles like the sticker implies?
I apologize if I am late in finding out about this book, but I like reading about the Amiga and would love to know more about AMIX.
However, I can't seem to find this anywhere else. Google didn't seem to know much about it and neither did Amazon.
Thought I would check here. :-)

There's a lot of these going around, all for ridiculous prices. Basically anything that has a Wikipedia article on it, you can find a "book" for. I think it's a scam.

Ha! I would bet every one of those "persons" listed under Editor Names is a fake.

It's one of those scummy pay-through-the-nose-for-unreliable-and-inaccurate-Wikipedia-articles book. These publishers should be in jail. Absolutely disgusting.
