> amazon only sells counterfeit books anymore

This statement is (obviously) false as 99.9+% of all books sold on Amazon are authentic. Yes, Amazon should do even more to combat counterfeit everything but inflammatory, false comments are not productive.

Every Tech book I've looked at in the past few month has reviews of people showing their counterfeit books they have received. I'm not sure why you are defending Amazon's practice of letting this go on.

The first book on that list has comments showing off the counterfeit book that the people have gotten!

Reviews on Clean code: This books is a fake. Don't buy it. Look at the images I posted.

Reviews On Mythical Man: ordered new book, got something that was used and marked up and Great book, terrible terrible print and binding quality (which I assume is just a counterfeit)

Reviews On Algorithms: Beware of counterfeits; do not buy from Amazon!

I'm not going through the entire list, but most of the tech books are all fakes.

I've bought several tech books in the past month such as Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasak, none were fake. I think you'd get less push back if your rephrased the original post as more of a warning that books ordered may be fake.

Amazon has a serious counterfeiting problem. They need to clean house.
