The idea seems to be that you'll search for James Joyce, get the page,
follow it to buy a paperback of Finnegan's Wake. I do wonder how the
traffic is going to find these pages in the first place, I admit...

some sort of association between us and them. Thoughts?

Their footer reads:

I'm intrigued by the ambivalent "may be available under"...
