Interestingly I bought a book on Z80 assembly last year, I thought I was buying a used book printed in the 80s or so. Instead it was shiny, glossy, and obviously printed on demand.

Terrible quality, and really did make me stop using Amazon for "vintage" books.

I prefer to buy used books locally, but given I don't speak the local languages I'm often forced to buy from abroad to get English editions.
