> I don't know from where you are buying 'foreign books for cheap' and I'm not sure if you are referring only to LPE text books.
I don't have special shops to buy books for free, and I am not referring to LPE editions only. I am saying most of the foreign books are LPE whether explicitly or implicitly. They do compromise on paper quality, printing and covers.
> But most of the novels, and other books that I know are definitely expensive.
An average novel costs me 350. That is by no stretch expensive. Sure you can get a "lord of the flies"(or may be not; I mostly see Chetan Bhagats and Sidney Sheldons) on a pavement for 50 bucks, but that doesn't mean 350 is expensive.
> But pirated books sold on by footpath hawkers sell like hot cakes only because many foreign best sellers are generally expensive.
Pirated books are cheap doesn't mean most of the foreign books aren't reasonably priced.
