I had posted a bunch of comments on their Facebook page telling people to not buy books from Waterstones because of their crappy shipping and customer service. That might have provided some encouragement for them to do something. Some Waterstones person actually responded to one of the posts.

- Philtrum Press Eyes of the Dragon RED #165
- Fine Viking Eyes of the Dragon proof
Now that sounds like something I can get on board with. If I don't hear anything from them I guess I'll have to "go public" so to speak.

Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
So, do these damaged copies make mine worth more money?
(I am now running away as fast as I can to avoid the sticks and stones being thrown at me)

No sticks here I've discussed this with another *victim. We decided that we probably have the more desirable "special dinged edition". If you think about it, our copies are more limited than yours now!!
But seriously, you are probably correct thinking the undamaged ones are more than likely going to be more sought after.
The way I am going to approach this is, "at least I have a 1 of 250 double signed limited edition".

Darn it! Now I have to add the invisible and the slightly damaged and the badly damaged editions to my want list!

Condolences to everyone who got damaged copies or fourth printings. That really sucks.
I have a couple of UK editions still on the way, and one of them is in doubt. Fingers crossed.

So I'm holding out hope that my S/L will actually arrive, but if that doesn't happen, would anyone who purchased 2 or more copies be willing to part with one for a signed US trade edition?? Let me know.

Mine just showed up. Bullshit packing of course. Minor slipcase corner rubbing (like others).

No luck yet. Beth Orton (I think that's how you spell her name) from customer support is trying to find out how to give the partial refund.
I won't give up.
Update:
Just got off the phone with customer support. They take each issue case by case and I was just told I WILL NOT receive a partial refund. I can't express how disappointed I am in Waterstones. Never Never NEVER AGAIN.
I wish I had worked out something with one of our friends across the pond to pick one up.

I did provide photos. After my email of sharing disappointment one more time they are revisiting the partial refund. More drama to come. For the record, I haven't been mean to them, I've just tried to get the point across that you can't charge $355 for a book that only a few hundred are produced and ship it like its a coloring book.
