Rifft,

Displeased with a product you bought sight unseen? Return it, and mosey into an LCS, pick one up you can inspect with your own eyes. Keep those brick and mortar stores alive and kicking. 

Or, get one of the awesome designy people here on the forum to help you out somehow Maybe some slick-looking dustjacket would be kinder on your OCD eyes than some misaligned spine text. Are the contents cool? Did they trim too much off of the leading edge or is the internal gutter too tight? You could get the entire run slipcovered with custom covers that only YOU would have - some cool bragging rights!




Buying from you LCS isn't always the answer, especially when the defect is between the covers of a wrapped book. I've had several books this last year that have had some manufacturing defect (e.g., like pages stuck together). Amazon will gladly take these books back, but I feel bad asking the guy at the LCS for an exchange since it'd hurt his bottom line more.
