  • Just an unauthorized photocopy

    I don't see any similarity between the cover advertised and the cover I received. The book condition said Brand New, but they supplied just a photocopy - all the images are grayed and sometimes its clear about the quality of the copy. I don't understand why it charges $20. It could be done by less than $5. Most noticeably, the cover says 'Circulation of this edition outside the Indian subcontinent is UNAUTHORIZED'.
