Yes, but they don't contain authors such as King & Picoult (two that I remember from the PDF of the ebay listing that somebody posted).

Oh, yep, definitely pirated. I was on the phone when I was looking at the PDF and didn't realize there were more pages. It says "no old books" and lists King, Rowling and Rice among others.

really!? stephen king, anne rice and j.k. rowling are mentioned in the ad (sorry, i'm unfamiliar with jodi picault and there''s someone named bill cut off by my pdfcreator conversion )!

Well, like I said in the post above I didn't realize there were more pages. The front page is completely innocuous. It's not till the next page that you see things get squirrely.

Rowling was on it too. That's probably why he has removed those names from his new advert. It's a big risk to take for such a small profit, especially with his home postal address being on there.
