I say it looks like a vanity publisher, even though my uni library have some of its books. They've been known to take vanity releases before. As for Grune he looks more like an academic making forays in fields not his own than like a crackpot. He sure writes like a computer tutorial rather than like a linguist. Most of his Burúshaski grammar is taken from Lorimer, and thus solid, as far as Lorimer goes. /BP
