I had scanned several books and uploaded them to archive. There is a fellow that had downloaded, printed the book and is selling these books on Amazon.com. I think that archive.org should know about it. The one I noticed reprinted was Burke's Complete Cocktail And Tastybite Recipes. This was a book I scanned. The lines of his copy match up with the lines of my copy. They are exactly the same distance apart.

I just thought that Archive is being used by amazon for profit.

Well, if the book was public domain, there's nothing to stop whoever printed it out from selling it. You /are/ legally allowed to sell public domain works.

BUT I thank you for notifying the Archive. If you want it to get seen by a Staff member (not me!) they most likely will not see it here. I always have had luck posting it here:
