And now this...?I was going to pick up the Milt Gross book, but given that the man apparently doesn't understand the meaning of the word "complete", and that IDW are too busy patting themselves on the back for making Premier Publisher status to proofread anything coming in their door (Dick Tracy missing strips, Grimjack dropping a page, etc.), I'll wait until someone confirms it's all there before I take the plunge.I know Craig and he is not an idiot. He's a good man that loves the material that he is involved in. It's unfortunate that the Ditko book was not up to par....but calling him an idiot is immature. Perhaps he could have been more careful..or IDW could have done more...but an idiot? No. I'm sorry. "More careful...?"A book, at a minimum, should have all the pages it is supposed to, and they should be in the right order.Every.Time.This isn't a goal to strive for, it is the mimum expression of competence possible. If you don't get that done multiple time in a row, you are an idiot. And your publisher is too if they keep soliciting your stuff.If you solicit a book as "complete" when you *know* it isn't, you are a liar, and maybe even a crook.So which is it? Is he an idiot who screwed up at least two books in a row? Or was the Tiger Tea debacle not a mistake but an intentional bait and switch that they negelcted to mention during the solicitation?This book should be returnable.And anyone ordering *anything* packaged by Yoe (whose batting average is 0.333 *at best* on his last three books, assuming Milt Gross isn't defective) in the future on a non-returnable basis given this track record is at least as stupid as he is.
