*have it arrive the next day, realize they sold you a misprint as new, go and return the book, write an angry return text. Get the promise they will send you a new one, get another misprint, write an angry review

Seriously, Amazon really was good once. Now I'd rather order a book from any competitor that cares about their customers. Much less hassle.

Where does Amazon even get those misprints anyhow? Or how do they manage to mix "used, for re-sale" with "in a big cardboard box full of the copies of this book straight from the publisher, for first sale" in the first place?
