Amanda stated in deposition she wrote every single word in this book. She claimed no one else wrote a single word. This is copy/paste from "her" book in 2010. This is as she wrote it mistakes and all.
"Standards and Medical Management of Captive Insectivorous Bats
Chapter One
Introduction
Natural History of Bats
Bats are among the most beautiful and agile creatures to grace our night skies, yet they remain one of the most mythical and secretive animals on Earth. They are the only flying mammals in the world and there are over 1100 species worldwide. Bats have been represented symbolically in ancient cultures, ranging from Egyptian and Mayan ruins to Chinese art. Although revered in some cultures, they are feared in others, and many species have been persecuted to the brink of extinction. In fact, bats are both an ecologically and economically valuable component of our natural environment."
Below is the book written by Barbara French and Amanda Lollar. It's identical. The table of contents and even page numbers match up. This is clearly plagiarism. She even took out references to other writers.
"Captive Care and Medical Reference for the Rehabilitation of Insectivorous Bats
Chapter One
Introduction
Natural History of Bats
Bats are among the most beautiful and agile creatures to grace our night skies, yet they remain one of the most mythical and secretive animals on Earth. They are the only flying mammals in the world, and there are approximately 940 different species worldwide (Nowak, 1994). They are represented symbolically in ancient cultures, ranging from Egyptian and Mayan ruins to Chinese art. Although revered in some cultures, they are feared in others, and many species have been persecuted to the brink of extinction. In fact, bats are both ecologically and economically valuable component of our natural environment."
The entire book is just like this. All Amanda Lollar added was grammatical, spelling, typographical errors. Barbara French went to college and grad school. Barbara French taught grad school. She wrote for encyclopedias and has written quite a few books. Amanda Lollar has not gone past the eighth grade. Amanda Lollar wrote a poorly written manual in 1994 riddled with bad advice and errors. No one in their right mind believes that Amanda Lollar wrote this book. If she wanted to be taken seriously she should have given credit to the other contributors. Instead she removes credit to the other writers.

Below is a link to the first page of the Amanda Lollar book. Notice Amanda Lollar just ran some paragraphs together making it more difficult to read.

Maybe I should try my hand at plagiarism. I'm sure I could write some classics. I will start with a Tale of Two Cities.
Original opening. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way."
My book which I wrote all by myself. "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom. It was the age of foolishness. It was the era of belief. It was the era of incredulity. It was the season of Light. It was the season of Darkness. It was the spring of hope. It was the winter of despair. We had everything before us. We had nothing before us. We were all going directly to Heaven. We were all going directly the other way." I'm sure everyone will believe that I wrote that from scratch ;^)
