Found this on eBay

Apart from the fact you'd have to be from Mars not to know Beatrix Potter wrote Peter Rabbit, I am absolutely staggered how anyone could photograph SIX books close up, with the author's name clearly on each one, and still get it completely wrong.....

I imagine you will be contacting the seller. It will be interesting to hear his reply!

The more I see things like this, the more I think that some people do not have a brain inside their heads anymore, just an empty space full of rubbish!

well said!!

I saw 'Heidi' being described as 'By Enid Blyton' the other week on eBay.

I have contacted the seller and received this reply:

And sure enough, it's been corrected!

And Nigel's incorrect quotation tags have been corrected too!

That sort of thing is everywhere. Amazon is particularly bad for books by Enid Blyton which are clearly not - I've seen science textbooks and all sorts.

I see the listing has been fixed, Moonraker you obviously got there before me .

I've seen a few books that state their by Enid Blyton when their not. I have a sneaking suspicion that some do it because they know it will draw people in, which might work up to a point if the writing isn't visible but not when another author's name is blatantly on the front .

I wonder if the books had sold would the buyer have left negative rep for the item not being as described?

actions speak louder than words I was wondering who had fixed it because the first thing I did was see the link rather than read the posts!
Jolly well done Nigel!
I don't blame the seller because that has happened to me too many times, even in exams!

This reminds me (sort of!!) of when my aunt was a child and had to write a composition on 'Wind In The Willows' - but absentmindedly used her own surname instead... 'Wind In the Websters' -- which the teacher found very amusing!
