{"product_id":"9781551955261","title":"Forgers, Fakers, and Publisher-Pirates by Linda Quirk","description":"Whether print or digital, text or image, artistic or scientific, rare or common, historic or contemporary, most of the content we encounter contains accidental mistakes-ranging from typos to factual errors to errors arising from prejudicial assumptions-and a significant proportion of it also contains deliberate misinformation resulting from various forms of forgery, fakery, and piracy. This exhibition catalogue introduces the work of notorious and lesser-known forgers, it reveals the various ways in which experts and authors have faked their own identities-ranging from carefully-selected pseudonyms to falsified ethnicities to fraudulent credentials-and it explores a number of shady publishing practices. We can all become better readers and better at protecting ourselves from scammers by improving our understanding of the nature of the content before us.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419881648501,"sku":"9781551955261","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781551955261.jpg?v=1764603059","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781551955261","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
