      In the paper under review the authors find all the Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers which are products of two rep-digits in base \(b\), where \(2\le b\le 10\) is an integer. The largest solutions are \(F_{12}=144=4_8\cdot (44)_{8}\) and \(L_{15}=1364=2_4\times (22222)_4\). The proof uses linear forms in logarithms à la Baker and reduction techniques based on continued fractions such as the Baker-Davenport reduction lemma.
