DH as wedding favor - broken spines?

[Petra]

A fellow HP fan and friend of mine was in a wedding party.  For a wedding taking place on July 21st.
 
She was not a happy camper but she is a trooper and did the grown-up thing: skipped her tradition of staying up all night to devour the newest canon in order to be up to the rigors of celebrating her friends' nuptials.  In turn, the bride and groom gave copies of Deathly Hallows to some of their wedding party members and guests.  Talk about a unique wedding favor - that heavy tome probably would have been easier to tote around by pink ribbons though, come to think of it.  <eg>  Maybe this is why JKR did not release her book on July 7th - it was an extremely popular day to get married!
 
There is only one tiny glitch in this cute story: my friend and her husband both received copies and *both* their copies' spines have *broken* though neither of the books met with rough treatment.
 
Has anyone heard of problems with the bindings on some of the US hardbacks of DH?  I know my copy is fine but it would seem the quality control on some batches are not up to par.
