Well, got the replacement from
Amazon today, shipped via post office. And while not as bad as the first copy, the binding is still cracked between pages 2A and 3A (which is the page just BEFORE the thicker card-stock advert for UPA Stamp Auctions. Starting to think this might be a publishing fault for the entire run of catalogs. I am going to contact Amos press about this because having it happen to one copy is bad luck, having it happen twice suggests something more problematic :(
