> sounds like they were finished, albeit poorly. They got published which is typically the end of the line for creating books.

If I were at a restaurant and was served undercooked food—everything I ordered is on the plate and I was served, therefore the food must have been done cooking before it reached me, by that logic. But it wasn't and I can tell that. That's what I'm saying. These books were served before they were ready. Just because they were served doesn't mean they were done. I said so in both of my reviews.

ETA I was going to add a link from my comment down thread to the comment where I transcribed parts of my reviews, but it is already linked above.
