Except that a 'foreward' is not what Steve Albini actually contributed. His piece is a 'foreword'.

add the phone company to that list.

Yeah, the wife bought me one from Amazon for Christmas. It came all beat and scuffed to hell with a huge slash through the spine. I'm expecting pages to start falling out anytime now...

You should return your book to Amazon. That's not our fault!
I'm editing vol III right now...

Didnt mean to sound like I was assigning blame, rather just posting a cautionary tale. I would return it, but would rather not be without it! Im sure it will get manhandled anyway. Just in time for Vol III!

Sorry, I thought you were inferring it was our fault! I don't think the binding was the best, but how the heck are you supposed to figure that out until you have thousands of books delivered?
