If you see what is purported too be a new translation ( i.e. published 2009) and you do not know or recognize the publisher, ( i.e.Jungle Books) and if there is little or no descriptiion of the book and if it says "only 1 left, more on the way" and it has not been mentioned on this forum then you can be sure it is a mass market knockoff of a Project Gutenberg or other free book.

These books are stored on huge hard drives and can be printed for a few cents, it is usually not worth the time and postage of ordering the book. Just read it on Gutenberg. Amazon has been polluted by hundreds of these "new": Verne books, leaving it hard to find the really new translations.
