After reading a post that complained about a Call of Cthulhu d20 book ordered from WotC's online store that had apparently been exposed to moisture during shipping, causing a "wobble" in the pages, I checked my own copy of CoC - and sure enough, it has the very "wobble" described.
However, I didn't order it online - I bought it from a local game store.
Yesterday, while I was out, I checked into a couple of the local game stores and looked over their copies of CoC on the shelves. Sure enough, they all displayed that characteristic "wobble".
So I emailed an acquaintance of mine across the country, and when he replied - sure enough - he indicated that his store-bought copy of CoC had the now-seemingly-ubiquitous "wobble".
Of course, there are copies of CoC out there that don't display this characteristic. However, the fact that it's shown up in so many copies - in different cities in at least once case, no less - might lead one to believe that it has nothing to do with shipping procedures at WotC's online store. At this point, I'd suspect that they came that way from the printer; for at least a small but significant portion of the print run, perhaps they were stored improperly, or perhaps someone buggered up the drying agent in the inks - I have no way of knowing.
However, I'd like to know how widespread this problem really is. So, two question for y'all:
1) Does your copy of CoC have a "wobble" to the pages? (i.e. they don't lie perfectly flat, but appear wavy when viewed edge-on.)
2) Is your copy store-bought or ordered from WotC's store?
