Hey, Wait, I've Got a New Complaint

[HedlessChickn]

I just finished Finders Keepers about an hour ago. It was a great romp and I really enjoyed it. The only thing I'm concerned about is that Suicide Prince is going to have a supernatural aspect. I hope it doesn't. That's not why I'm starting this thread.

Both Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers have a very serious issue with the bindings. I've gone through the last several Scribner published books and not seen this problem with any of them. On several pages (I mean in like 15 different spots) of both Hodges novels, the glue that is being used has seeped further into the pages than necessary, sometimes to the point of distraction. Generally this isn't a problem, and if it weren't for the fact that I am particularly anal about King novels, I wouldn't bring it up.

Anyway. Just suggesting that a little more quality control is in place for the next one.

Until then.

Hi, you might need to contact the publisher directly for this one--that does sound frustrating, sorry to hear it.

I haven't seen this problem in my copy of Mr. Mercedes or of Finders Keepers.

My copies were also fine. You must have been unlucky.

 

[Spideyman]

No problems here.

What?
Oh come on Flakester, what you describe would lead us to believe our generous benefactor doesn't clue his books together his very own self, or at the very least oversee the book gluein' processes at ye ol' book factory by his crack crew of book page gluein' professionals
Un freakin' believable!!!

OK, I've waited long enough. OP could at least have come back to say "Forever in debt to your priceless advice".

Perhaps he's too busy running around like a... headless chicken?

Heck, you think that's tough, my copy of Duma Key held up a liquor store and taught my dog to smoke. HBs ain't what they used to be.

That there was funny! Thank you.
