Searching on ebay for a Sega Vision (the hand held media device released in European UFO catchers) I cam across something odd. From what I can gather, I think these are bound and published articles, press released, and perhaps technical sheets on Sega. Though, I really don't know what these are. But from the looks of it they *might* contain as of yet discovered information. What do you guys think?

These are just wikipedia articles copy/pasted into books. See:

Well @#$%. I'm surprised thats legal, but then again no I'm not... I have to wonder if they are made to order >.> Hard to believe they would make a stack of books very, very few people would want or even pay that price for.

They don't make a stack of anything. Books like that are printed on demand. As soon as someone wants, for some undefinable reason, to order a probably badly printed and certainly not proofread set of articles from Wikipedia, the book will be printed cheaply and sold for a profit. All it takes is one person to buy one copy of the book about any one topic and for the printing not to outweight the profit. And needless to say, most of these 'publishers' list tons of subjects in order to catch more customers.
