[HPFGU-OTChatter] DH as wedding favor - broken spines?

[Mrs. Lee Storm (God Is The Healing Force]

If this is happening, someone should let scholastic know about it.  Perhaps
you can get another copy from them.  It seems most unacceptable to me to pay
a pretty galleon for a hardback book which should last for many years and
have the spine break on first opening.

Seriously, I would strongly encourage anyone having this problem to write to
scholastic and, if possible, send a photo of the broken spine and a copy of
the receipt (if applicable).

Cheers,

Lee (Who don't take "No" for an answer) :-)

| Mine has broken, happened right away, I debated taking it 
| back and getting another one but decided if mine was like 
| that then most of what the store would have would be like 
| that as well. But I plan on getting paperbacks of the British 
| ones soon so, doens't matter either way I guess. I just have 
| to be careful with it.

| 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.
