[Coco] Book Review

[Bill Loguidice]

We have no sense of how many copies were involved (not sure we'd be privy
to that info), but the publisher assures us they're going to have all of
the copies checked before leaving their warehouse when they replenish
Amazon's stock. My best guess would be that Amazon would have had to have
had at least a few hundred copies on hand, but that's only a wild guess. I
look forward to the time (I'm sure many of us do) when this nonsense is
behind us, and not only are all available copies of the book correct, but
also the darn ebook is available from wherever someone would want it. The
most issues I've ever had with a past book was a slightly jumbled ebook,
which was relatively quickly rectified. This is all new territory for me
and not something that should happen with a major publisher. Again, they
assure us that they're on it, and I'm sure they're not happy about the
extra expense in having to fix all this and the ill will from their
customers.

Thanks too for the review on Amazon.ca. If you'd like to also post it on
Amazon.com, that would be great, because that's the only place that Amazon
pulls reviews from for all other regions (it's a new thing with them - so
if you go to say, Amazon.ca or Amazon.co.uk - you can see all the
Amazon.com reviews as well, but not the other way around), but you really
don't have to. Either way, it's much appreciated. Every review really does
help.
