I purchased a second copy of The Night Land and Other Perilous Romances: The Collected Fiction of William Hope Hodgson Volume 4. The second copy also has an improperly glued binding. I wrote to Night Shade Books, and got a message back — they can’t send me a copy that is properly made, because the whole print run came out that way. Hmmm. I hope they can get some kind of compensation from the printing company that screwed up this job! Support a small press doing great work, and buy the series anyway! My glue job seems to be holding up, so I will probably glue this one too and hope that it holds up at least as well as the other volumes.
