Is published review a valid book entry?

The Amazon link doesn't lead to anything, though. Is this actually an item for sale?I would certainly be in favor of banning this or anything like it. I see no upside to having a review published as a book and imported in Kindle form.

There isn't more. It's a short description. Or you mean more details?

It works for me, but it doesn't lead to the actual book, but to one of those pages where you can see the review and description, but can't actually buy it. When you try to go to the book page it is no longer on Amazon.

Yes because it is not there anymore, but the link shows that it has been published and the ASIN is valid. Which is the point to the link.




I wonder how many of those are in the database.
