My book is in great shape. The cover and binding are tight with no binding problems. As far as paper quality goes I have the book in front of me and while it isn't glossy the paper quality is fine and comparable to any book I have ever bought.
I would appreciate other's thoughts who have the book as far as binding and paper quality goes. |

I just received my copy of Band of Readers and find the quality of the physical book to be fine -- beautiful cover, tight binding, quite adequate paper. I am pleased with this book and proud to be associated with it.

I have just given my copy a good ole bending back and forth... seems to be holding up just fine. Maybe you should get in contact with LuLu, Ray? I am positive that neither Neal, or RIchard would be happy to hear this about one of their products. BTW... Loving the content so far..... |

They have excellent customer service. As for the book itself. The hard cover and page quality is NOT cheap. At all. It's almost bible quality;) Rather, it is VERY fine. Like a babies ass. Like mesika's thread. Like your momma. (Snap!) I know we understand, too, that Neal and Richard don't sew the book together:) I know lulu will square you away. As far as the content of the book is concerned that quality is fantastic. With all of this hullabaloo I am beginning to wish Neal would only make private releases. I have some material that I have had for so long, that is so powerful, given to me by some very important people, that is being held together by tape on fragile paper and in a plastic sleeve in a three ring binder. ... If these pages ever fell out, I would definitely treat them the same. Maybe your library can help out Ray:) I'm sure they have some nice people there.

LOL Besides my little concerned, I am really impressed with this book! This will be hard to beat for the best book of 2013. Sorry for getting off topic in this thread. Let's just focus of the stuff that is in the book and forget about what I wrote. It was just the luck of the draw. LOL Best Ray |

I understand you disagree. Come on Ray Ray! :) It's all in the good man. Maybe indeed be one of the best releases this year. Being so early it's hard to tell. It's definitely a contender. DMac would say "it has legs." (Tongue and Cheek) This year is already flying by!

I have to agree with MDantes. My copy is in fine condition and the paper is not cheap. In fact, it's identical to that of "Carnival of Secrets." (I have them open side by side as I write this.) Lulu is a pretty reliable publisher but it certainly is possible that a copy or two can slip through the cracks of quality control. I suggest to take digital photos of the spine and include them when you contact Lulu. They have responsible customer service from my experience and would address any damaged or inferior binding issues. No need to settle or feel upset.
Regards, B. |

It has arrived. Working today so won't be able to really get into this till tomorrow. The contents are just what one would expect them to be.....a collection of articles about various aspects of reading. I full expect it to be as enchanting as been suggested by those already reporting.

Jonathan: A little patience. There is a lot to digest in this book. But I will say that there are items within the first 100 pages that I am looking at doing some rewrites to my book. There is Juan David Arbelaez's tool to help give a client something to do when what they really need to do for a time is "nothing", and some information by Meraux Dantes that I will use far more often in my personal reading that if feel is just good client care that will differentiate you from the dime a dozen crowd.
All this and I'm not even a quarter of the way through the book |

Pablo, if there were an Academy Award of Unpacking, you would win, hands down! Probably one of the most suspenseful videos I've ever seen. Of course, in Neal's Band of Readers, you had great material to work with.

Wow, this book doesn't disappoint in the least! While, as in any collection, there are certainly a couple of articles that fall a bit flat (for me personally) the overwhelming majority are simply gold! The Tony Michaels section on business practices, for example, is worth the price of the book and then some; just wonderful information! (And Iain, your section was killer, for a number of reasons!!) I didn't start at the beginning, as my habit is to skip around, and I've only read a tiny fraction so far. But what a solid beast of a book! I'll be referring back to it for many years. Awesome purchase--if you're on the fence, get it. Seriously.

Agree with Seth. Everything that I have read so far has been more than worthwhile. Used a nice little touch from Neal in one of my readings last night.

I agree. If the list of contributors and contents didn't sell anyone on it, then I will also add that I too, love the "sections" by individual authors. And while this may be old news for some, the Webster contribution on coming up with your own oracle is a very welcome addition, and one I did not expect. This one is going to keep me busy for a loooong time, and while I sometimes find many products (especially higher-priced ones) lacking, this is substantial (if not ridiculous) amount of value for money....provided you're going to use it.
