Hey, everyone.
I have come upon a listing for a book, titled Tintin 06-08.
Does anybody know what is it about - there's no information or cover given on any website that I can see, and I don't have a clue.
You can see the book named on alibris.com, valorebooks.com or betterworlbooks.com, etc.
These might help:
ISBN:1608943798
ISBN-13:9781608943791, 978-1608943791
The publisher is Ingram Book Group.
It costs around 150$
Apparently it was released in 2001.

Is it related to Tintin in any way?

Moderator Note: No concrete evidence for this, but we'd suspect that it is a print-to-order "book", simply made by downloading and printing out Wikipedia material. Such books are often given spurious lists of authors' names, so that they can appear to be an academic text-book or research paper - this one doesn't even seem to have bothered with that
This is legal in so far as the content of Wikipedia is presented under Creative Commons conditions, which allows it to be freely reused, but is basically a scam, as it does nothing with the content, adds no value, and is an attempt to fleece the unwary fan or student into parting with the cash.
Until otherwise proven, best avoid.
