Of course, the comments could be wrong, but I doubt it. I, for one, will refrain from posting Encore books until I am convinced that they are not guilty or, if they are, have mended their ways (and books published before their ways-mending will be off limits for posting by me).

One question arose in my mind, however. That is, how it could be possible for all (or most) of the different authors of all of the different cookbooks to be guilty of taking recipes from other sites. Then I looked over the list of Encore Books that Amazon sells and noticed that all of their cookbooks are written by really only a handful of authors. If there were a large number of different authors, it would be much more difficult to believe that all of them had taken recipes from other sites and put them into their cookbooks. With a handful, though, it is much more plausible. It's interesting, too, that almost all of the cookbooks have "Encore Books" as one of the authors. Could it be that all or most of the individual-people authors are innocent and that it is the co-author (Encore Books) that is the culprit?
I suspect that there is one "author" and that's the one putting the books into the store. The rest of the author names simply being made up.
