About 5 % of the books we have in stock are published in India and China. The quality of the paper, the binding, etc. of some of those books is sometimes not as good as most books produced in 'Western' countries. But prices are much lower. Some look second-hand but we have them straight from India, China, etc. We mostly mark them with ip, or ap, (Indian or Asian publication) but not always. Misprints will be replaced by us.
