when i was 9 our toilet broke when everything else was already going wrong, & rather than have break down my mum gave me a reader's digest plumbing book and went for a walk, & i fixed it by the time she got back. ive fixed multiple taps, sinks and washing machines since. you really just need 1 book

For *not* the first time, a publisher has asked me to review what appears from reading the description to be a blatant ripoff of my own book (if not an AI-assisted regurgitation, then just straight-up lifted, by someone who doesn’t write in my field.) Is this happening to anyone else?
