Has anyone purchased a fake book off Amazon?
Has anyone purchased a fake book off Amazon?

I purchased what I thought was a book by Peter Zeihan, but then realised that it was by Peter Walters and was surprised that it had the exact title and book cover and title as the original.

The book was pretty bad quality, printed in copy paper (A4) feeling and just binded together.

Has anyone encountered something like this and how is something like even possible?

Just has a closer look and it appears that the content is 98% similar to the original and a few words has been swapped out with other words of the same meaning.

How weird! I almost want to keep a copy of it for the shit and giggles.
