Sergei is right- it's a real novelty item, and good for hours of laughs (it has, for example, a fishing lure that's been mistaken for a real insect, and some terrible yet fascinating photoshopped images of bunnies). You'll never be able to buy one of these in a legitimate economy, however, as many of the images were obtained illegally. A bookseller would be sued for copyright infringement as soon as one hit the shelf. So it's got a bit of a mysterious black-market feel to it.

You don't encounter Islamic creationists very often. I suspect that the reason academics are keeping them is the sheer novelty. Peculiar. You don’t encounter Islamic creationists very often.
