I doubt if a hard-copy is available. It's an "e-book." Most likely the scam-author couldn't find a publisher. But if everyone in ASA chipped in 50 cents, we could come up with the cost of the book and share it.

As the author of a hardover published book entitled "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer", I'd like to shed some light on Books versus eBooks. While it's certainly true that maybe 99% of of the eBooks out there would never find a home with a publisher, there is a booming market for eBooks for niche markets. Ebook authors try to focus on a particular subject with a narrow, but highly interested, audience. In contrast, regular books often, but not always, try to appeal to a mass audience. (With regular publishers a book with a narrow audience might be of very little interest to the publishing house.) There are eBooks on all sorts of topics, from health to various software programs, and there are even eBooks on how to publish and sell eBooks. I've purchased two eBooks and was satisfied with both. If I hadn't been satisfied, I had 30 to 90 days to get an automatic refund. So there was little risk. There are health eBooks on how to rid yourself of bad breath, acne, asthma, etc. They are often remedies that are of interest to a specific market, even if they would be of little interest to book publishers. There are several advantages to eBook publishing. The first is that the author doesn't have to wait 18 months to see his work arrive on the shelves. The second is that the author doesn't have to rely on the honesty of the publishing house in order to get paid for his work. (This is no small problem.) By going the eBook route, the author is cutting out the middle man. So authors have a chance to get paid what their work is worth. And they can write on a topic that might have only 5,000 buyers and still make a decent living, especially if they are able to write several eBooks. I now have an eBook entitled "It's Not Just For Sex" with a website by the same name. It's targeted towards people with erectile dysfunction and/or high blood pressure. My hardcover book probably wouldn't make a suitable eBook, because eBooks are most often "How To" books. I would recommend writing eBooks as a profession to anyone who has an expertise on a marketable topic. It could be "How to grow georgeous irises in 15 minutes a day," for instance. With the power of Google Adwords, you can reach your niche market for very little money. > But if everyone in ASA chipped in 50 cents, we could > come up with the cost of the book and share it. You could order the book and cancel it if you aren't satisfied. If you are satisfied, then your integrity would not allow you to ask for a refund.
