In fact,
Melissa BEE is not the only one nor the first one in the world that writes full books on a single name.Pierre Le Rouzic (well known French author of onomastics books) has a serie of full books on single names since 1989 at least:"Un prénom, un caractère" (Virginie, Marie, Pierre, Jacques, Anne, Michel, Catherine, Christine, Bernard, David, Jean and Isabelle, at least).And I'm sure that I saw the same type of books some time ago in Barcelona (I don't remember if in Spanish or in Catalan), but since I don't have the exact reference I will limit myself to the French books, which are available to be purchased online (through Fnac, Chapitre...).So, affirmations as "the only one in the world that writes full books on a single name" or "There has never been a book devoted entirely to one word - your name - until now." (as appears on the website) are not true.
