I don't think there's anything wrong with printing out and collating a Wikipedia entry if it's clearly indicated on the cover that the content of the book is what is available online for free. Some people may want to have the information in a hard copy format without having to print it out themselves. But, the provenance does appear a little too hidden in this case.

Re: [Videolib] I could not resist passing this on. It came from a librarian friend
Hard to imagine someone so cheap or stupid that they can't print it themselves or ask Kinko's to do it. However IF the first line and front cover said something like A compilation of Wikipedia entries that likely contain mistakes on the life and work of Lillian Gish than fine. It is beyond my comprehension why anyone would want something with disclaimers that it probably is not entirely accurate and has not been vetted. As one who had to correct a Wikipedia factual mistake half a dozen times ( about Greg Maddux of course) until it stuck I can attest that one would never want to rely on them.

[Videolib] Star Wars: the Complete Saga on DVD
Hello All, We're doing the VHS--DVD upgrade bit and I've had a request to replace our VHS version of Star Wars Trilogy. I would like to get the Complete Saga but it was only released on Blu-Ray in September and now there are rumblings that it will be released in 3d sometime this year. Does anyone have any idea if the Complete Saga will ever get release in good old-fashioned DVD?? Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Rock It
One of my favorites is the musical Heißer Sommer. It's like the DDR's solution to Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.

I had an exceptionally rare copy of this in one of those old padded early VHS cases and I actually donated it to a University. I would check OCLC for this but keep in mind it has been out of print for over 25 years so the most you could get legally is perhaps to borrow a copy on interlibrary loan.

Re: [Videolib] Star Wars: the Complete Saga on DVD
Who knows...I stopped paying attention when I heard that the Blu-Ray versions are altered even more than the special edition (post-1997) releases, and don't include the original theatrical release versions. There are plenty of secondhand DVD copies available on Amazon Marketplace. If your VHS tapes are the originals (pre-1997), hang onto them. And let us pray that Lucas does not alter them further.

Re: [Videolib] I could not resist passing this on. It came from a librarian friend
Sadly, I've previously spotted many of these books for sale on Amazon. There's a generic publisher name, no indication that they've merely printed pages from the internet. You have to be paying attention to notice that it's a 7 page publication...
