    WTF! I hope you get a refund or reprinting.

      Yarly! It seems the upload got magically corrupted somehow, but the raw PDF is fine so it’s their system that screwed it up.

      Still, whether they’ll accept liability or not is a different matter… >_>

    LOL WHUT. Change the encoding on the book! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE ENCODING? WHAT IS THIS, 1998? Capslock sorry.

        Seriously, though, they have to give you a refund. Did they even check what they’re printing? Or did they think it’s a super long spell that spans pages?

          Nah, they don’t check; it’s all automated, which is the point behind this kind of low-end print-on-demand service.

          The issue is that their text upload facility corrupted my otherwise pristine PDF; the only thing I can think of is because it was a .docx file I printed to PDF on a Mac. And if that’s giving it issues then… la-aa-ame. There is a way to review the interior contents before purchase but I guess it’s not terribly obvious unless you’ve done it before. So it’s kinda my fault (I should be the one checking, and I didn’t), but also theirs (their system fucked up).

          So could go either way; depends on how they want to disclaim liability. /shrug

    Oh poops.

    Have you started getting in touch with the relevant peeps to see if you can get some of your money back?

    If my paypal account gets above 0 some time in the next millennium I’d be to chuck $10 your way to go towards reprinting (assuming you can’t get it re-done free). I know it’s not a lot but you know, state of the UK economy and everything ;)

      Yeah, I sent ‘em a ticket being all like, “WTF?” Haven’t heard back yet.

      See how things go; thank you very much for the offer, though. u_u
