Bent Bestiary Cover


Customer Service


Hi Sara Marie and Cosmo.

When I took my copy of the Pathfinder Bestiary from my shelf yesterday, I noticed the covers were kind of bent inwards ("U-shaped"). Is this a known problem? I'm asking as I want to prevent this from happening to my copy of the Advanced Player's Guide and the Bestiary was just sitting next to some other hardcover books on my shelf.

Best regards,
Celeblas :)

Hey there Celeblas:

I'm not Sara Marie or Cosmo, but I've had that happen in the past (though not to my Paizo hardcovers). In my experience it usually has to do with humidity and/or contraction of the glue used to adhere the endpapers to the casing (covers). Unfortunately, it's pretty much unavoidable unless you keep your books in a sealed vault. ;)

I'd try setting the book on it's side, and then stacking a few other books on it for a few days.

Good luck!


Hi bugleyman,

I'll try this :). I was just wondering, as this has never happend to any of my other D&D3 hardcovers.

Still I'd like a feedback from the Paizo Customer Service, as I was planning to by another copy of the book and if this is a known problem, I might have to change my plans.

Best regards,

Sorry for the lack of a response. However, my answer is:

In other words... what he said. :)

Thanks,

If you have the boards warp on books, the best fix is to put them on a shelf horizontally with a large stack of similarly sized books stacked atop them. This should help to press them back into shape.

Unfortunately humidity, heat and extreme cold are all bad for books.
