Pirate Copies

  • September 17, 2002
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Marianne from Eindhoven, Netherlands
That is cheap! A third of the price I would have paid at home. Yes, I bought them, all three.

I leave the shop happy. I order coffee and unwrap the books I bought: Harry Potter parts 2, 3 and 4, and start reading. They are funny!

However, the books don't feel right somehow. I examine them closer. I discover some minor irregularities. They are not abridged versions, still something is wrong. The print. Yes, not as clear as I am used to. The cover, not quite authentic. I know! They are pirate copies. Photocopied and then sold as originals at a third of the price. Does it matter? Soon I am deeply absorbed in this fantastic story.

Goa's capital, Panjim, is more like a provincial market town than a capital. The narrow street, Portuguese signs over doorways, red tiled roofs, pastel coloured walls. This is Portugal in India.
