Bah and double bah

Borders didn't have another copy of the offending book, so the girl on the information desk gave me a refund and advised me (in an amusing stage whisper) to go and buy it from Waterstones instead. So off I trotted to Waterstones, only to find that the copy on their shelves had exactly the same problem in exactly the same place. Looks as if it is a problem across a whole print run. How peeving. And what a particularly annoying place to have an enforced pause, just before the climactic showdowny bit!

Call the publishing company and tell them, they probably don't know about it and they'll want to do a recall.

I told a guy in Waterstones that it was likely to be a problem with the whole run, so he might let the publishers know. But you might be right that it'd be better to do it myself just in case :-)

You never know, they may send you an okay copy as a thank you / apology for the hassle.

Rats! In that case perhaps I should have given my address on the web form ;-)

I bought a book from the Science Museum which had some pages missing, when I complained to the publishers they sent me a replacement book which unfortunately also had the same pages missing, eventually I received a complete copy and a free detective novel for my trouble.

I bought a Steve Vai tab book a few years ago, and a couple of pages believed themselves too long and so some lines of music fell off the bottom. I mumbled at the publishers, who told me to go away.

I wouldn't have had a chance at those bits anyway, so I didn't mind too much.

Silly publishers.
