I am offended that they charge $16-$19 dollars for a hardbound book and don't spend the ten cents to evenly trim and bind the pages. Is it just my local bookstores getting bad copies? I asked Jerry Pournelle if he's noticed this on his books. He was unaware (his copies come direct from the publisher and *I know* they won't send nonprime copies). If this is the case for Del Rey books, let's send a collective flame to Del Rey and ask to sell nonprime copies at a nonprime price and spent the money to have good looking books (with good content) at a good price. -- Chris DeVoney voice: 317/842-7162 Que Corporation uucp: ihnp4!inuxc!que!chris Indianapolis, IN #include/* you know what these are for */
