Thread: Can anyone identify this book?
Folks, http://www.amazon.com/dp/1523349263/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_sn45wb1KJSV75 So, leaving aside the very offensive title, the book contents are plaigarized from someone else's PostgreSQL book. Can someone identify the book based on the "look inside"? If you can, I can get Amazon to remove it. -- -- Josh Berkus Red Hat OSAS (any opinions are my own)

It's ripping off (100% it seems from the TOC) "Postgres Succinctly" by Peter Shaw from Syncfusion: https://www.syncfusion.com/resources/techportal/details/ebooks/postgres That one is free to download, but obviously not public domain.

I Googled for the first line of text from the back cover:
"this updated and expanded second edition of Book provides"
28 other books seem to have that same description.
