My last book purchase was print on demand. I knew Amazon did that for some titles but I assumed they’d tell you. If it said somewhere, it wasn’t obvious. The book arrived with the printing offset vertically by about an inch so the bottom margin was huge and the top margin just under the top of the page. It’s not unreadable but it’s a pain to read and I’m looking for the title elsewhere and just not buying books from Amazon again.
It’s really not excusable. Either there are no humans in the loop or some actually looked at this and decided to send it anyway.
I’ve already got a list of products I won’t buy from them but I never thought books would be on the list.
- grecy 7y agoI sell print on demand books through Amazon, and I see misprinted books occasionally. I ordered a box of 500 recently. One was an utterly different book, and one had a printing issue where some pages from some random book were in the middle of my book. It's a shame to think paying customers might get one like this, but it's easy enough to return stuff to Amazon, so I don't think it's a huge deal.
