Color and Alignment
When conducting a side-by-side comparison, be sure to pay attention to the color and alignment of content. Differences such as those apparent in the image above may indicate that the book is counterfeit.
Paper
Examining the paper of a legitimate book and a suspected counterfeit book may also provide you with enough information to determine a book’s authenticity. Differences in paper color, paper finish, and opacity may indicate that a book is a counterfeit.
Trim Size and Bulk
Noticeable differences in the size of a book when compared to a legitimate exemplar may indicate that a book is counterfeit. Also pay particular attention to spot differences in the bulk or “thickness” of the book, as this too may indicate that a book is counterfeit.

Examining the glue used to bond the book together can be a useful method for determining a book’s authenticity. Often, counterfeit books will use a different color glue than that used for a legitimate book. Additionally, the glue applied to counterfeit books tends to be applied more thickly and generally does not appear to be as tidy as that applied to a legitimate book. Notice in the side-by-side comparison the color and tidiness of the glue used on the counterfeit book (right).
In the side-by-side comparison the color and tidiness of the glue helps identify the counterfeit book (right). Incorrect

When examining case bound books to determine authenticity, examining the headband can be a simple way to spot a counterfeit.

A frayed headband may be another indication that the book is a counterfeit.
In the side-by-side comparison, fraying of the lower quality cloth used for the headband indicates the bottom book is a counterfeit. Incorrect
