Alphascript publishing book back on eBay...

Hi guys,
We've had a several new members join since this last came up a few months ago so I thought I'd put this out there again.
Previously an American book vendor was selling off books purporting to be about the Isuzu Bellett and Isuzu Florian under the publishing house of Alphascript publishing.
These books weren't cheap, either; around $100.00.
As many of you know, they turned out to be a $100.00 scam; the articles were copied & pasted from Wikipedia; pictures, links and all.
The sellers were kind enough to refund our money and return the books. They have since stopped stocking anything from Alphascript.
Well, the book has popped up again, this time directly from username BORDERS:AUSTRALIA!!!!
I have sent them a nicely-worded email informing them the books are about as useful as an LPG-powered perpetual-motion machine. I just sent it, so no word on if they will pull it. They have no less than 10 copies available, which adds up to $1000 worth of useless crap.
If you see this book and you're even half-tempted, don't do it. I actually would have considered keeping mine as a bad joke if the cost was like $20.00, but it was $100.00 that was better spent elsewhere.
Cheers guys!
Dave
