In books you get what you pay for. Arcadia states clearly that all opinions are those of the author. Arcadia does not fact check. All it does is confirm that nothing illegal or obviously libelous is in the book.

Arcadia allows people to self publish books without having to deal with printing, shipping, and all the other details of selling books.

What Arcadia has done is make it possible for us to see many photographs that otherwise would be hidden in private collections. Arcadia books are a real bargain for very small press run books. If they were edited and fact checked, they would cost at least ten times what they do. Appreciate them for what they are but don't expect definitive information.
