You have to be very careful with some books (and items) from Amazon, and in particular check who the seller is (often it is not "shipped and sold by Amazon", but rather sold by some third party and may or may not be shipped by Amazon.
I have been reading of a number of relatively known cookbooks that are being "home released" as bad photocopies with names vaguely similar to (or containing key parts of) the known book.

BTW, if the item was not at least fulfilled by Amazon (and in some cases if it wasn't sold by Amazon, even if they fulfulled it), they won't refund you. You're told to go through the party who sold it to resolve your issue.

Tartine, which is a bread making book, is one of the recent victims of this.

Pinterest is a site with chronic copyright violation and self-promotion. Whenever I do a Google search where I'm wanting to identify something via an image of it, I put -Pinterest in the search
