New Book Blues

thewayneA new book came out last week by the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal people, it's titled A City On Mars. They've spent several years researching quite a number of topics and it looks like quite an interesting read. Wednesday I was in Las Cruces, stopped by Barnes and Noble, and picked up a copy. Unfortunately I completely failed to see the table that it was on when I came in the door, couldn't find it in the store, and a clerk picked it up for me.
Me not picking up the copy is very significant.
This evening I brought my copy in from the car and flipped through it. Something struck me as very odd, so I leafed through it again. Then I opened to a couple of random pages, then a couple more.
They are skewed. Ever so slightly. I handed it to Russet. She pulled out a measuring stick, and it's like a 1 mm skew. Barely noticeable. EXCEPT I CAN'T UNSEE IT!
So as we drive through Las Cruces Tuesday on our way to Phoenix, we'll be swinging by the B&N so I can exchange it.
*sigh*
