D.E. Ed. Wood -- does anyone know who this is supposed to be? The "Ed." in the middle looks like "editor", but maybe it's a publisher...? The books look like a mismash.

I Googled it and came up with this, but I'm not sure how reliable or accurate that site is. I tried looking up the book title on Amazon and got something similar, but it wasn't exactly a match. Weird.

My guess is that you're correct, it's an editor whose name was listed as

Wood, D.E., Ed.

but then had it get mashed up as Wood, D.E. Ed.

However, this is just a guess on my part, so I wouldn't change it unless someone is sure.

I'm working on this one...the author appears to actually be Samuel E. Wood for the psych books.

Okay...I cleaned up all those books listed as written by D.E. Ed. Wood. None had the right author, though all had authors with the last name of Wood. So that profile is now empty, and from what I can tell, there is no "D.E. Ed. Wood"...it's one of Amazon's phantom authors.

Yup. And now he's gone.
