Hi guys.
I am a new addition to the Pathfinder community, being a 4th Edition player for some time I decided to try something new but there is a problem with by copy of the Bestiary.
The problem is that some of the images on the pages, mostly the pictures and some of the font seem to have been blurred, most likely a printing error. My first copy I ordered from my local book store (Waterstones) and I returned it once discovering the problem and at that moment I ordered another copy. The replacement copy was taking longer to arrive than it should have done so I canceled the order and got a refund, trying somewhere else I ordered a copy from Amazon. It arrived just today and lo-and behold blurry pages again!
I skimmed the 2nd copy to look for clues and it appears they were both of the 'third printing 2010'.
It's not fun suffering eye-strain and a headache 'every' time you read it, much less while playing a session with it. so I just want to ask is this a common problem with this printing or am I just unlucky? Also, what should I do about it? Is this an issue Paizo has dealt with before?
And before you say 'buy a PDF' let me just say that I would prefer not to, when it comes to the core rulebooks I would prefer them to be on my shelf so that I don't need to be on a computer just to look at a specific rule. Plus my printer is not the best.
I really hope you guys can help.
(P.S. No it was not the same copy from before, I checked.)

You should contact customer service—or post in the customer service threads. They should be able to help. For what it's worth, my 3rd printing Bestiary doesn't have blurred pages, and this is the first I've heard of this strange kind of printing error, so it makes me think it's a relatively isolated one. That it's affected multiple copies of books from different areas to the same customer is weird though...
But definitely contact customer service.

Zlatchi,
Hello and welcome aboard! :) I'm sorry to hear about your Bestiary issues!
I'd like to help you out, but first I'll need a little something from you. Please take and email me some digital pictures of the misprinting for our records. Send the pictures to customer.service@paizo.com, and include your current shipping address and a brief description of the issue (a copy-paste and/or pointer to your above post will work perfectly). Upon receipt, I'll send you an email with options for the best way we can get you taken care of.
Thanks
