Couple questions here. How can I tell if a book is a first or second printing? I remember seeing someone asked if the replacement bindings would be a first or second printing and the reply was "second" for the purposes of being able to identify which printing the problem related to.
I pre-ordered Starfinder outside of Paizo and it came in but the binding was less than ideal. I noticed everyone else having problems and decided I should probably get mine taken care of in case it continued to degrade due to the known binding issue. I put in for a replacement with the vendor that I got the original from and the replacement binding is probably worse than the original binding. My original binding has pages attached to the binding but the binding separated from one cover. The replacement has the binding firmly attached to the cover, but the pages are releasing from the binding. I haven't yet sent my original back (I have a month to do so and figured there was no need to be without a book during the transit times) but I'm considering sending the replacement back, leaving me with the original book that needed a new binding. I went looking all over what I thought was the appropriate page to see if the vendor simply sent me a second copy of a first printing or if it is a problem with a second printing binding, but I don't see second printing anywhere on the appropriate page. Is it somewhere odd that I'm missing?
Should I send my damaged binding back to the vendor for a second replacement attempt and see if their third try is worth it or can I replace through you guys to ensure that it's a better second printing binding?
