    Google book search lists /Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things/¹ as published in 2008. The book itself says 1987. (As do I, who read it *way* before 2008.)

    Google says /The Big Book of Concepts/² was published in 2004. MIT Press claims 2002.

    My theory is they’re poisoning book search to set expectations for accuracy low enough that their LLM can clear the bar.

      @marick Is this about editions? Book data is really interesting, there's ISBNs, which are about royalties, and UPC, which are about sales, and several cataloging-oriented ids, any of which mutate independently.

      Amazon says the same (2008) of WFDT: https://www.amazon.com/Women-Fire-Dangerous-Things-Categories-ebook/dp/B009PS2RXG?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.jl3pVvJbCBNn9EzyMETwoCCRGekqMkuI0w4vNIFmpffnSnMGM7CvrjB8RHSBPOUr1bQjMXAZYIiZ7cd612IMvfrhim_9VHtwaTb0SxFNZDhMLZpaugMxH0hyafLQ8TzrEgDETaE7BZXPmImzpGTXk9rGvuJtfTVG6cQrxarmVgYL5b0ARVGFdNNRHWP047B8NumZJMIW6ivgLFoAIrEO-aVlJbm39yuzYQMQ28QmakU.6C6ViAUdCI74Vo19IgMiZyNhswnIKSGpy2YzLt_S1VM&dib_tag=se&keywords=Women%2C+Fire%2C+and+Dangerous+Things&mfadid=adm&qid=1773160908&sr=8-1#
