I feel that one important red flag is the deep discount itself offered on such books. Also, those well taped transparent plastic covers ... so as to not allow one to open and check books. Connaught Place & Mahila Haat (near Dilli Gate metro station) are two prominent places in Delhi which are a hub of pirated books. Such books make voracious reading possible for most of us students or non-job folks. I'd like to support our publishing industry, esp. the authors but the pricing of many such books make me want to rebel (by going on a pirated books buying spree). It's an ethical dilemma I still grapple with 🙈 would like to hear your take on it. Thank you again :)
When budget is the problem, I always lean into digital formats like e-books and audiobook subscriptions. They're affordable and still support the authors and the industry.
Why my book is small bought from amazon. Dimension matches to description tho. Is paper backs small i saw some in utube theres books are larger than mine. Bought from legit cocublu seller.
I bought this book 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramhansa Yoganda and it arravied yesterday but everything if okey with this just the cover quality is a little thin and it may bend easily I wonder If should return this one?
@sai_lakshmanan why would you say that? I agree we don't get the same feeling, but is the content inside different? Like if i go for a pirated book, and I'm compromising kn the quality and feel of the book, is there any other problem like order of pages or missing pages, etc? Please tell

If you're going to spend your money please don't waste it on pirated books. They're just not worth your hard earned money.
