I found the article pretty interesting. I wonder if she has a case or not. Personally, I can totally understand her feelings, but it sounds like she may not win this one... She should have come out with her own encyclopedia faster. Anyways, the real die hard fans are probably going to buy whatever encyclopedia she will come out with... even if this unofficial one is out first.

This is sad because she is loosing some respect from some member of the community. It's a little weird because she sounds like a mother who can't let her child have their own lives (keeping the analogy of her books being her child)... she has to let go one day!
