I got a counterfeit book of knots. And I kept it.

As far as I can tell, someone printed and hardbound a PDF of the actual book, which is otherwise I guess out of print. It's about the best I could hope to get under the circumstances. So ... there we are.

I bought (and returned) a legit copy of that book. At least in the sense that it wasn't a printed pdf.

Weird.
