    I got my money back, so I'm just out the few bucks I paid to ship it back. If it had been the same style as a Cemetery Dance ARC I'd have kept it, but what I got could have been produced at Kinkos for a few dollars. Come to think of it, I could have started selling unlimited copies of a limited edition.

    Ahh, didn't know that there was an IMAO. Need to start playing more video games and work a bit on my 1337 speach.

    Ahh!!! That one i know. Tho I found out that IMAO is "In My Amateur Opinion"...I figured it was a jab at the "Esq" tag I added.

    I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.

    The other seller on there, gh****, is selling "Proofs in a plastic binder. Clean and tight. 224 pages. No illustrations."

    The description does say "paperback" on the page you linked, but if the seller did not specify that they were selling a proof or ARC, then you have every right to have Amazon refund your money.

    This was the book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ZN1ZXS

    I thought I was getting a copy of the Limited Edition of A Good, Secret Place: A Collection of Stories by Richard Laymon, but it turned out to be a proof copy. Since I returned it the seller has updated the description on Amazon.

    Don't offer to return it; let the seller know that the book was misidentified in it's description and that you are very unhappy--it makes you wonder what else is misidentied on his site; perhaps it is not worth your's or anybody else's time perusing (hint that you'll spread that around on a few blogs). then tell him you want your money back. Don't ask how to return it.

    I always got to keep the book that way...

    I'm just sayin'...

    My copy of of Pet Semetery isn't the greatest, but I got my $85 back (all because of a name plate that wasn't mentioned in the description).

    Thanks, all. I'm going to contact the seller and return it. I won't say which book it is just yet because that would be like throwing chum in shark-infested waters! Everyone will think to themselves, "Hmm, maybe I should have that book!" and next thing you know the price will soar like Dutch tulips. I'll let you know once I get a real copy

    Everytime that happens, I write an angry letter to the seller. 5 out of 5 times, I got my money back and got to keep the book!


    ...I'm just sayin'...
