Are there such thing as fake books? (alien.top)

Recently I started reading books. I was browsing online looking to buy a book when I came across 2 different shops. One was selling a book (I won't name it) cheap then the other, more expensive (but still the same book). I wondered, are they the same and is the cheaper one "fake" or are there such thing as "fake" books?

Just listened today to a podcast interviewing an indie author. His book is distributed partially through a non-Amazon printer, and the price has been the same for its entire release. Even so, he has noticed that occasionally Amazon will revert to some seller with a ludicrous price, even though the book is still available for well under half of the new purchase price. Could be a shady reseller that you’re running into. Don’t know if this is what you’re running into, but it reminded me of it.
