  • Walmart’s website is totally fucking useless. It’s like a far, far worse version of amazon or ebay. Any “marketplace seller” can list anything there including things that likely don’t exist.

    The texts listed are real reports that were published in an agriculture digest in the 1900s. The one I looked at is 24 pages long (not much of a book). I’m guessing what’s going on here is the seller has a bot that automatically pulls up public-domain texts (no licensing fees) and offers to bind them as a book to make money. This is a long-standing business model on amazon, although it usually targets public domain texts that people are actually interested in, like Dracula or Pride and Prejudice. I’ve seen some printed and they look very unprofessional with bad page layouts.
