In nominating books for awards we should be aware of the practices of
Alphascript, a publisher in Germany that simply reprints Wikipedia articles
and other stuff gleaned from the web into fancy, hardbound book form. For
example, this looks like a book on a badly needed topic:

But, as far as I can tell it consists of a printed out version of the Wiki
on 20th Century Fox Records combined with the bsnpubs.com discography.
