oh I see. next time I will just get it in the secondary market. waiting ten years? wow, I hope they gave u a discount or some kind of credit to put towards a different product. any reputable busuness would have, I mean loyality is one thing but ten years, thats going too far and should do a much better job ofgetting their product out. no business should have anyone on the cuff for that long. they should have just admitted they made a mistake in their business plan of the making, packing and shipping of item and refunded all the money. then start over when their about 6 months out. I know business very well but admit I know nothing about the animal of books so I might have just sounded like a complete idiot. I have bought 4 cemetery books in the secondary market and have been very pleased. so as long as salems lot comes to me in that superbly made book ill will be ok with the time it takes. well unless its ten years lol
