Does someone here know what this is? Has an ISBN, but was published by lulu.com (a self publishing house), appears to be a copyright violation? (Updated based on Remy's response below).

eBay Item #161672329160

It's a Sorbian Translation of the Hobbit by Edward Wornar

I'm not sure why anyone would be trying to protect this worthless, ex-library copy.

The seller is Alan-53. That should be enough answer for you...

Yes. A complete charlatan.

Hate this guy's listing, no condition description but pages of awful rules. Who buys from these people?

Here is another infamous listing by alan-53:

eBay Item #371303970214

"TREE and LEAF ~ JRR Tolkien ~ 1965 1st US HC ED ~ EXTREMELY RARE! ~ Tolkein"

"First Edition HC from 1965 ~ Fifth Printing"

Why are there 14 people watching this item?

The Wonders of... Amazon.
