Production costs for paperbacks can be as low as 11? per copy?cheap enough to enable pirates to profit while undercutting cover prices of genuine versions by up to 70%. Though some pavement booksellers stick to selling legitimate books, others like Kumar say the knockoff trade is hard to resist because it's lucrative, demand for cheap reading material is high and local...
