Worse than the worst Schulz biography

So in the wake of recent posts, I’ve been discussing Bad Schulz Biographies with several people, and in a couple instances the topic led to a book I’ve discussed earlier – there’s a company that packages Wikipedia articles (all readable for free) into print-on-demand books (something that Wikipedia will do for you for about $8) and sells them to you for $48. They did one one Schulz, filling it out with articles that are linked to from the Schulz article on Wikipedia.

And then, in the midst of all that, I discover today… their system has put together a book about me. Yeesh.

(It any one is that curious about me – and there’s no reason you should be – you can read my Wikipedia entry without paying to have trees killed, or you could read my website.)
