    Amazon is bad at packaging books lately. I’d say 1/3 orders are damaged. My last one was both misprinted and the envelope was unsealed, so the book arrived bent, wet, and blurry.

      Yep mine are always floating around in the boxes, dogeared and cosmetically damaged. They can’t even get their original core service right.

      Edit: Just ordered a roofing tool. Was shipped the tool packaging and the pieces of the box from them tearing it open to steal. But it was carefully supported with packaging material this time. Hilarious.
