Before the inclusion of the sources in the book it was plagiarismus. Now it's legit - if the book actually has been layed out in such a way that each text she took is clearly marked.

Plagiarismus or not doesn't deter from the fact that she was able to string text blocks together with her own words and created a book. How much value it has is in the eyes of each individual. She has after all created a work from different sources. I just wish she was honest enough to begin with, then everyone could have made an informed decision as to wether this book has any value or not.

But in my eyes the damage is done as she was not honest to begin with.
