Dark Tower issue resolved

Well, hello there.  Hope you’ve had a wonderful day.  My day was pretty average. It was a beautiful winters day with a painfully blue sky that makes you think if summer - but it was way too cold to even consider leaving the house!

Okay, enough of the social pleasantries. You’re here for the book stuff 😁  Here we go...

As you can tell by the title of this post, my issue regarding a used book I purchased from AbeBooks was resolved... but I’m not sure how I feel about it.  As previously discussed on both my IG, and BookTube, I ordered what should have been the reissued edition of The Song of Susannah (Dark Tower 05) by Stephen King. I particularly wanted this book because on the matching covers that form a larger landscape image when put together. But anyhoo, when the book turned up in the mail on Thursday, 18/07/19, it was not the right edition.  Yes, I know that sounds shallow and smacks of consumerism, but I want the edition that I’d paid for.

Seeing the error, I emailed the seller. They were lovely to deal with (so this isn’t a drama queen post about shitty customer service) and after me supplying them with the details they requested, I woke up to an email stating I was being refunded the full cost of my order (inc. p&h).  Now, while this was expected, I would rather have received the correct edition.

So, the hunt for The Song of Susannah begins anew.

Wish me luck, and on that note I’ll bid you a fond adieu, and until I see you next time,

Where's my book?

Granted, this very rarely happens, but on occasion I do have a book snafu from Book Depository.  This morning my postman arrived bearing two parcels.  One was the gorgeous edition of Perfume by Patrick Suskind {it's sooo pretty!}, 

while the other was a copy of The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde... the WRONG edition.

See, it even says 'Hardback' right there on the invoice!

Instead of a lovely hardcover, to match the other books, I find that I have somehow (?) ended up with a paperback.  While not happy, I've already shot off an email to them to hopefully resolve the problem asap.  In the past they have been wonderful in resolving these problems.  A+ for service in my experience, but that doesn't mean that a little part of me isn't terribly disappointed right at this moment.

Will let you know how this plays out ;-D

Until next time,
