Who is Tom Thomas?

[Saharvetes]

This author: Tom Thomas seems to have written hundreds of books; co-authoring with everyone from William Shakespeare to Friedrich Nietzsche to Albert Einstein. In particular, what do we do with books that have only him as author, like this one?

[Ralph Gallagher]

It looks like he published a bunch of public domain works through CreateSpace and is crediting himself as the author.

I didn't know that was possible. What a douche.

Can we put that as his author description?

[Lobstergirl]

Not a bad idea...

[Sandra]

LOL!

The Cisco/Networking books are Thomas M. Thomas II I will fix those and merge the Thomas M. Thomas page also.

No. But I understand the temptation.

rivka: but shouldn't all these books basically list the original author as author, and Tom Thomas as editor?

That seems like a good idea to me. I've actually seen him listed as such on another site.

Yup.

Ok, did that. Wow, there was a lot to do. However didn't have the time to focus on other details (like lots of the books mention "Volume 1" while there is no volume 2, so I reckon it should be removed. By the way, there's another Tom Thomas which I discovered in the process, so the Tom Thomas we're talking of now is located here: Tom Thomas (2 spaces)
