Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Hephaestus Books continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on New Power Generation members.

Oh dear, I don't hold out much hope for its accuracy then if its culled from Wiki!

Even Prince's wiki has some real inaccuracies on it, such as that he is celibate (well it said that for a while anyway lol!)

Agree. Wiki content should be left where it is and not be included in a proper book.
