Publishing error: Issue #40 & #41 not present
350468
I don't know about other customers, but my copy ordered from Amazon contains a publishing error.

Issue #40 (the continuation of issue #39 in which Spidy and the Green Goblin are supposed to be unmasked) stops after the first page, then skips to page 17 of issue #39.  Upon reaching the the first page of issue #40 again, it skips to page 8 of issue #42.  Issues #40 and #41 do not appear in this book.

If you're buying this to have on your shelf, that's fine, but if you're buying it to read, the climax is missing and this did not make for a very easy bedtime as I was reading it to my 7 year old son.

I would love to know if other customers had the same problem and how I can get a copy of issues #40-42.

UPDATE: I went to a physical bookstore and was able to get a copy of this book which did not have the publishing error.  Changed review to 3 stars because it's a good book for the target market, but I'm leaving the review: online buyer beware!  Some copies of this book have publishing errors which remove the climax from the book.

I enjoyed this book,  but there were publishing problems.  Pages were gone and some of the upgrade and power pages were gone.  Otherwise I loved this book. I would but the second one.

This is the same compilation of Lovecraftian comics presented by Selfmadehero in April 2011 (ISBN 978-1906838287).  I don't know if the cover is different because this is the US issue and the other was from the UK, or if there were contractual issues with a second printing.

You can refer to my previous review.  It is a highly enjoyable collection.  I don't think there is any reason to own both versions, that's too extreme even for me!

My son has been reading the Rabbit books by John Updike for his 10th grade English class.  Much to our surprise and dismay, the brand new copy of "Rabbit at Rest" which we purchased on Amazon in early December is missing 32 pages!  It appears that we are outside the window for returning or exchanging a new book, so I guess we have little choice but to run out to the local bookstore to get a new copy.

Even though I'll pay a little more, at least I'll be able to flip through the pages to make sure the book is intact esp. when it will have been published by the same publisher, i.e., Fawcett Books of the Random House Publishing Group.  This has never happened to me before, so hopefully it is just an anomaly.  Meanwhile, just thought I should forewarn others in case other copies of the book printed around the same time are also defective.

While this is a wonderful publication, this book arrived without the original dust cover, as shown.  This was a serious disappointment, as this is an important aspect of the publication

Great magazine, but really?!?!?!  ONLY available for a Kindle device.  Amazon is blaming the publisher, so Mr. Publisher, please correct this issue!

The publisher updated the file and fixed it.

OLD REVIEW:
Some of the images are missing, we just see a low resolution picture of a camera. I deleted and re-downloaded and they still are not there.

I bought this volume to continue reading the comic series and I'm only on page 89 but there are pages missing.  Blank pages between 83 and 89 and earlier in the book, pages 8-13.  So weird

Interesting magazine, but I have only received one issue. Is it supposed to be monthly? It wasn't clear to me.

They sent me the issue with superman and Wonder Woman on the cover rather than the cover posted with aqua man!

Fantastic stuff, beautiful thick volume, but the worst low-definition b/w print I ever seen in years! What a pity. I hope things come better in the next issues.

Now that this wonderful edition is complete, with 4 books on 6 in splendid shape (the best comic strips reprints ever done) I *strongly hope* that this reprint of vol #1 has the correct definition regarding the printing... Anyone can verify? I'd love to buy a second copy of vol. 1 & 2, if the printing is improved... thanks and forgive my english

The bonus materials which is a PDF that accompany the book was not included as promised by publisher. It must be an Amazon flaw

Amazon and Dwell, and all the other magazines, need to work together to make the first issue of a magazine arrive in a more timely fashion. Honestly I'd pay a premium for that. It's ridiculous, the gap between when you order your first issue and when it's supposed to arrive.

If the system worked really well, I'd be able to choose which issue arrived - the current issue, or the next issue.
I guess paper is dying so noone wants to invest in it.

I have read this magazine a lot in the past. I can't comment on the newer content yet because it turns out I don't have a new enough Kindle to receive the print version. I should have read the fine print in the pull-down menu first. Live and learn. Now I will have to wait for the print copy to arrive in 2-3 month. I just wanted others to be aware of that potential problem.

The story itself is excellent, but one of the two copies I received was printed incorrectly - it looks like the second half of the book was inserted twice with no beginning at all.  I'm unable to access the return information - is this something that can be fixed?

The content of the magazine is great.  Just make sure you are receiving the magazines as promised.  I subscribed in mid December and received 2 December issues and _NO issues for Jan-Feb.
