Well, I think I would rather have a scuffed book than no book. I still haven't seen anything on USPS, which worries me because it tracks everything that's on it's way to you with your address. I see everything else I've ordered. So if mine is lost, I guess there is no hope of getting a replacement?
Still hoping I'm overreacting but most everyone seems to have gotten theirs.

I just think it's really weird. And I'm on the East Coast, so you would think it would be here by now. Plus not having a tracking number.

Yeah i got tracking. Shipping confirmation on 26th. Last update on the 28th in the UK "on its way to NY). USPS side just shows "pre shipment". I know there are others that didnt get tracking, but the book just showed up. Honestly, i figured we would have received them by now (going off of others like you mentioned)Did you have a tracking number on your order?I still havent either..

Wow, that’s it? I haven’t gotten a response to my message and now it sounds like calling is just about as useful as not getting a reply to that email. Waterstones has definitely seen its last dollar from me.Here's mine:
Yep, scuffed and actual book corner marked.
My phone call didn't go well either. Here is roughly what was said back to me:
"I can only apologise for this happening, I have passed this over to the warehouse as they were informed by multiple colleagues of mine to make sure these were packaged carefully as to not damage them.
Unfortunately these are all now sold out. Again, sorry."
So, this is my last book ordered from Waterstone. Very disappointed.

No reply to my email either. I see not how pointless contacting them would be.Wow, that’s it? I haven’t gotten a response to my message and now it sounds like calling is just about as useful as not getting a reply to that email. Waterstones has definitely seen its last dollar from me.Here's mine:

You're P.O. eats UK editions though, ChadI still havent either..
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Related question....I just got 4 UK copies of the trade hardcover but copyright page has a "4" on every one. I'm assuming I got 4th printings? How is that possible? I think returning will be a nightmare.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Where did you order them from, David? I ordered 8 from UK Amazon that are due in tomorrow. I'll be sure to check that out!

All the Uk editions regardless of where I purchased (Waterstones,WH Smith, Tesco, Asda, etc) all had full number lines beginning with ‘1’. Looks like you have 4th printings.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

Simon, my copies just have "1" with no full number lines. Is that what you meant?
OK, so my S/L has arrived in Australia. Same deal as others - just a shrink wrapped book in an oversized, corner battered box in which it was able to freely slide around while flying across the Indian Ocean. The shrink wrap was covered in scuffs but, thankfully and shockingly, the book and slipcase are in perfect shape.

Yes, just the single ‘1’ my bad. (I had just updated the catalog for the US edition and got confused!)All the Uk editions regardless of where I purchased (Waterstones,WH Smith, Tesco, Asda, etc) all had full number lines beginning with ‘1’. Looks like you have 4th printings.

I received my S/L copy today. Same thin cardboard envelope with absolutely no padding inside. The book was literally sliding around in there. The shrink wrap is not torn except for a tiny tear on one corner, but it looks like the slipcase corners underneath might be a bit scuffed. No obvious dents, dings or scratches on either slipcase or book, though.
Very poor show for a collectible book. But I think I'll count myself lucky.
It appears we all have a little torn plastic Corner both my copies due to I think that's from the shrink wrap process
THanks...Waterston'e (I pre-friggin ordered) sent me 4th printing copies...4 of them...would cost me $100 to ship back....not worth it....a write-off. SIGHU.K. 1st EDITION COPYRIGHT PAGE.

That sucks, David. And it’s not like contacting customer service would help. I’m still waiting for a response about my not-so-rare dinged S/L variant.

I will never understand how the British learned to count...The way I see it theirs goes 1,4.2.3.5 This is the second time that people getting books from the U.K. received 4th printings shortly (less then a week) after the book was 1st printed. I believe TOMMY got a 4th of CTCC.
HAS ANYBODY IN THE U.K. SEEN A 2nd OR 3rd PRINTING OF SB OR CTCC?
Thats a royal PITA David, sorry to hear that. Out of interest does it also omit the "First Hodder Edition September 2017" line?

I don't believe that the First Hodder Edition line has to be removed because it is just stating fact & then lets you know what you now have is a 4th.IMHO
