We're going to need everyone who owns the numbered edition to weigh in on this binding error so those with the error know how rare this variant is and the market values can be updated.
I'm joking. Seems stupid that I have to point that out. But everything I say is stupid and everything's a joke.

My Numbered is fine.
Having now looked into this further, it isn't a binding error. It's a printing error on some copies of the Numbered edition. Some sheets were fed the wrong way into the press. Since it isn't something that can be "fixed", we have offered anyone who emailed about it two options. You can return the book for a full refund, or keep the book and receive a partial refund in the form of store credit. My apologies for the error. To err is human.
On a related note, I just got in an order of leather for a certain rebinding project, and it was the wrong color from what I ordered. About 20% of my time is spent fixing other people's mistakes. And of course, I have been known to make a few myself. It's all very frustrating, but unfortunately a part of our existence.
Price check or offers for the Misery cube? I have an extra. It's number 16.

I am not returning it. Like I said, I will just read the AGE. I know it's beyond your control Paul. It happens. It's a still a great production and I don't want to break up my numbered set.

Are you actively selling it or just looking for a value?
Hey, Paul. If you ever decide to do another poetry collection again, I wouldn't mind seeing Charles Bukowski get the Suntup treatment. Such a brilliant writer.

Yes, agreed. Bukowski's work is great. I always relate so well to his famous shoelace poem. These sections resonate:
it’s the continuing series of small tragedies
that send a man to the
madhouse…
//
...with each broken shoelace
out of one hundred broken shoelaces,
one man, one woman, one
thing
enters a
madhouse.
The full piece is here.
If only I head a little extra spending money I would have jumped all over that Misery cube since my number is 16.
But alas, I have to draw the line somewhere.

Placed my order for the Simic edition this morning. Looking forward to it!
