I hear what you're saying, and you're right, though it would be nice if thisWAS made clear in the descption. Which it isn't. In fact the descriptions are nonsense. Here's what really bothers me - these titles come up quite frequently in searches. When a hundred other firms are doing this, polluting the search results, what do we do?

As I said, it doesn't appear to be a problem on amazon.com - so I was wondering if it was worth approaching the .co.uk to see if they could do whatever the .com has done, and bury them in the results down where they belong.

EDIT: Hmm, maybe there's a better way.

Let Rowling's lawyers see what they think.

EDIT2: Nope. Apparently, after some background reading, they're wise to this. I still think amazon.co.uk could do more to bury the results, but I'll drop it. Delete the topic if you detest clutter the way I do.
