Apparently it bears repeating:

PEOPLE

PLEASE, for the Love of All That Is Good & True & Right in This Universe, in This Year of Our RBG 2024,

DO NOT give a book low stars simply because there is something physically wrong with your copy.

The vendor that sold you the copy is not going to read your review. You are not harming the vendor by low-starring the book.

YOU ARE HARMING THE AUTHOR of the book, who has zero control over the physical condition of the book you have received.

1/

If there's an issue with the physical copy of your book, you must take it up with the vendor directly. Initiate a return procedure. Write an email screed. Something -- but NOT a bad review of the book!

That's all.

@courtcan Totally agree. That said, when I see a bad review because of book quality, I disregard that review.
