I need someone to tell me something

Anne Boleyn: A Very Brief History - Mark Black

Honestly, can someone please tell me why people think charging 2.99 for a book that is basically a wikipedia entry is good?  I mean, this isn't bad per se.  It's a good high school paper, I suppose.  But you can get work by Derbyshire and Ridgway for the same price, and those works don't read like a wikipedia entry in any way.

 

Black keeps refering to a historian at times, but doesn't tell you who.  He does to be fair mention three historians by name.  There also isn't any type of cited or further works page. 

 

Granted Charles River Editors charges a similar price for thier work, which can be hit or miss, but even in the miss one, CR Editors at least gives you further reading.  But I don't buy the CRE books either.  I just pick them up when offered free, but they do seem like better bang for the buck.  And they are geared toward high school and college freshmen.

 

Additionally, the wording makes it sound like Catherine of A and Henry got hitched right after Arthur's death, which was not the case.

 

I just don't get why anyone, even a student, would pay for this at all.  (I picked it up when offered as a freebie).  You can find something like, with a better source list, on the internet for free.
