The Amalgamated Institutes
A mock-scholarly publishing federation that compresses entire fields of expert advice into supposedly complete, concise volumes.
Field notes
The homepage frames the project as a federation of specialist Institutes, each tasked with reviewing an entire field before publishing a condensed finding. Its catalogue names four subjects—weight loss, sleep, concentration, and temperance—and identifies Volume I as a hardcover title with forty-two supporting references listed on the Research page. The remaining three volumes are marked out of print, while separate links point to errata, press material, and a fellowship.
