On WPN release day I went to the local WPN hobby store and they claimed they only ordered and received two copies of the new Player's Handbook and that the owners were keeping them. I was shocked as I personally heard several folks asking for them. So a week later I went back and they had more copies in and I went to purchase one. The first one the kid behind the counter handed me had a huge dent in the bottom of the book. I mean a huge dent. So I asked him if he had any that wasn't damaged. He went through 4 copies out of the box from the distributor before he found a good one. Once I got home I noticed that the cover had some strange substance on it that looked like someone spilled their instant breakfast cereal on it. I was able to wipe it off with a damp cloth but overall these books hadn't been stored well--probably not UPS's or the store's fault--and probably not Amazon either.I also ordered a copy from Amazon because usually one copy of the PH isn't enough. Players are always wanting to borrow one at the table. Both copies including the one from the WPN store and from Amazon have the wavy looking paper. My copy of Hoard of the Dragon Queen has a very slight wave to it but much better than either copy of the PH. I noticed that Hoard used a different kind of paper--seems not as glossy to me.I don't think you can blame Amazon but they will, no questions asked, replace your Player's Handbook with damage. It takes only a few clicks on their website and it will be on its way to you. After you get the new one you just have to mail the damaged one back with the prepaid sticker at the post office. They are very good about it.</blockquote>
