Title: Any ideas?

Has anyone got any idea what this is? It looks intriguing, mysterious, strange and possibly a complete waste of time and money.  ::)

It is - apparently, it's open source and they can do this without paying royalties amazingly. There are many others in the series....

Coincidence - I was looking for stuff on comedy singer Allan Sherman a couple of hours ago and noticed one of these for parody singers, including Sherman, Neil Innes and 'Weird' Al Yankovic.  I thought - that looks an interesting book, but couldn't find any more info on it anywhere on the web.  Now I have my answer, so thanks for raising that question, Gub.
