I have notices that the hardback books from Del Rey (yes, that Lester Del Rey's
company) have uneven page edges. 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.
