Just before Father's Day I purchased a book for myself. I began reading it over the weekend, and what did I find after I finished reading page 52? PAGE 117! Yes, my book is missing all those pages, but the funny part is page 98-117 are in there twice.
I don't think I have my receipt anymore because I figured it's a book, I know I will like it, and what could be wrong with it that I can't see. Well, I got my answer and will NEVER get rid of a receipt for a book until I finish reading it or at least count the pages! :)
That would've frustrated me to no end. Contact the publisher, bet you won't be the first!! What did we ever do with the WWW to find addresses?
ReplyDeleteI was planning to contact the publisher if I could not return the book. However, I called the retailer (Barnes & Noble), and I can exchange the book without a receipt. It does not have to be the same book, but I am hoping there is one without the page problem because I was really liking this one.
ReplyDeleteI have a college textbook like that ... extra pages but fortunately none missing (I thereby didn't go to the trouble to exchange).
ReplyDeleteThat is horrible! I was going to tell you to try to return it without the receipt but then I saw your response in the comment! Good!
ReplyDeleteI never keep receipts. A friend of mine gave me a receipt folder the other day just for that purpose. Now I don't have an excuse for not having a recipt when I need it. In the long run, I'm sure it will save me money. LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a chunk missing!
