I thought this was kind of funny. This is in Ho Chi Minh City. The Chinese are good at DVD pirating, but I'd never seen pirated books until I got to Vietnam. These are fake Lonely Planet books. The paper seems to be thicker and the pictures were mostly black and white. The asking price was about US$4 per book. You’ve got to hand it to these guys for knowing their market – if you’re looking for a place to sleep for US$10 a night, there’s a decent chance you’ll be interested in a cheaper way to help you find it.
