Hey I was wonder had anyone every bought a copy of any of these book (see links below) that listed on ebay? As they note they take their information from Wikipedia and other free sources and was starting to wonder if maybe they have been taking things from the DPI and using. In their book, as I can't see there being 94 pages wroth of stuff about the DAR, Devco, ICR, Government Railway, Nova Scotia Railway. Unless it's a small book in size but I don't think it being "9.69 x 7.44 x 0.19 inches" would be a small book. I have a feeling that they might have used pictures from the site.
Any thoughts?

Another Book, maybe an update or volume two with 142 pages and it's the same length and width

A complete rip-off of copyrighted material. Even the description of the book is a rip-off from Wikipedia.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about these "republishers:

Even available at Indigo. Unbelievable.
