I've been asked about this a lot, so let me provide a quick FAQ.
Q: What's the nature of the issue?
A: Anyone who has bought my book from Amazon in the past few month hasn't bought a genuine copy, but a lower-quality counterfeit copy printed by various fraudulent sellers.
Replying to @fchollet
For instance, if you go to the page of DLwP2 on Amazon, you see that it's being sold by a 3rd party seller named "Sacred Gamez".
If you click "buy", you won't get the actual book from Manning. You get a low-quality counterfeit printed by the fraudulent seller (from the book PDF)

I have a BEng and an MSc but can barely follow 75 year old engineering reports from #WW2 in my own field. I am also 100% sure that due to their maths grounding, they would learn to Code, far faster than I could equal their maths. We`re doing it all wrong - I`m deadly serious.
