  Reviews: Tim Phillips` book provides us with deeper insight into this knockoff economy which he so aptly calls ˜a criminal empire of huge proportions`.

-Michael Danet, Secretary-General, World Customs Organisation



Tim Phillips explores different aspects of the modern global counterfeiting crime wave and presents them in a highly readable style with some fascinating insights. This is a book that will inform, inspire and alarm.

Peter Lowe, ICC Counterfeiting Intelligence Bureau



Tim Phillips` book destroys any notion that counterfeiting of branded goods is some sort of `Robin Hood` crime, and shows it for what it truly is dangerous, corrupt and endemic. Revealing, informative, interesting and highly readable, anyone who thinks that their health and safety is untouched by these issues should read it. This book is an important read for both consumers and policy makers.

Graham Satchwell, Former Detective Superintendent, Managing Director of Proco Solutions



Tim Phillips has synthesized a stunning amount of information in Knockoff, which joins the best of the bunch about counterfeiting and piracy. It is well researched, immensely readable and offers some dramatic new insights into `the crime of the 21st century`. Thoroughly recommended.

Ruth Orchard, Director-General, The Anti-Counterfeiting Group



Description: Counterfeiting is one of the fastest growing industries in the world - it is a market worth more than $ 500 billion, or 7 per cent of the world`s trade. In this compelling account, Knockoff exposes the truth behind the fakes and uncovers the shocking consequences of dealing in counterfeit goods. Travelling across the globe, Tim Phillips shows that counterfeiting isn`t a victimless crime; it is an illegal global industry underminig the world`s economies.



Based on interviews with victims, investigators and the people who sell counterfeits, Knockoff reveals the link between what we see as innocent fakes and organized crime. Phillips describes in detail how the counterfeiters` criminal network costs jobs, cripples developing countries, breeds corruption and violence and kills thousands of people every year. He shows that by turning a blind eye to the problem, we become accomplices to theft, extortion and murder.



This disturbing book will make you squirm in your seat if you`ve ever purchased counterfeit goods
