Pirated books seized

In what was Lanzhou city's largest raid on distributors of pirated reference books this year, local enforcement officials recently seized 20,000 books published in violation of copyright laws. Among them were also magazines, novels and poetry anthologies. The books were estimated to have a total retail value of 300,000 yuan ($48,270). An officer said the buyers of the books were mostly street vendors and small bookshops in the suburban areas, but he added that they were printed outside the city.
