[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this was a more philosophical question, ha. Amazon is certainly destroying publishing. [/quote]

Me too.

I was the first PP.

I have had three books damaged by Amazon's careless packing.

I've also had bad luck ordering cleaning products from them that I couldn't find locally.  One came with powder completely spilled in a vinyl bag.  Another came with a cracked cap.

The two most recent damaged books have been within the last [b]10 years[/b].  One within 5.  [/quote]

again, catch up[/quote]

What's your issue, oh advanced being?  Amazon's book packing (and packing in general) is worse now than it was 20 years ago when they did more book business.  The best way is when the book is shrink wrapped alone or in a stack to a backing sheet of corrugated cardboard and put in a box with air pillows. I haven't seen that in a long time.  Now they are more likely to put the book in a mailer.  Or worse, a floppy plastic sack.

The reason it has been awhile for me to see a damaged book is that I buy fewer books and I usually stagger the purchases so the book will come in a small box with other small things.[/quote]

Slow clap. Fascinating post. Do come back and share more, please.[/quote]
