BEFORE YOU BUY! READ THIS TO #STOPFAKEBOOKS!Hi! This is Shari Lopatin, author of "The Apollo Illusion." Recently, a couple of stories from Vox and the New York Times hit the news waves about "bookstores" that are pirating fake hard copies of books sold on Amazon. These bookstores are listed under the "Other Sellers" section of the paperback version of my book on Amazon, usually alongside legitimate used bookstores. If you decide to buy my book and want to ensure you're getting a legitimate copy (which also ensures I get paid royalties for my work), please buy the $16.99 paperback version DIRECTLY FROM AMAZON. Any "new" copies sold from other bookstores on Amazon were not purchased from my publishing company and are most likely pirated. This means the thieves will get your money for my work, I will not receive any royalties, and you may receive a poorly printed copy. Thank you for supporting indie writers and helping to #StopFakeBooks!
