It seems like Hasbro is intent on making a profit off this, the publisher must have gotten approval from Hasbro as they licensed the book otherwise it would be copyright infringement. The reason being that Hasbro can legally compete with this wiki, they saw a market opportunity and are taking it.

good luck getting a hold of the publisher and Hasbro :) I wouldn't be posting full scans of every page. And even then, I'd still have to ask permission of the author to do so. The book is not a Hasbro product, they really have no say in if I was to discuss the book with the author. If this product was a means of attempting to compete with the site, then it wouldn't have even been a book in the first place. They would have simply gone and tried to create their own database on their own products.

Considering his name is on the Amazon page and that he's already had other books published, contacting him will be quite easy.
