You can find the scoop at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDM_Publishing
And, for those of us who struggled to comprehend the Google translate

And if you want a title list should you decide such content is worth
collecting: http://isbndb.com/d/publisher/betascript_publishing.html
There's lots of information about this practice out there if one just
knew it needed finding.
