I bought a book recently on the basis of reading a short story that was being given away on the basis of being a "web exclusive" featuring characters from the book. I liked that, so I bought the book. The "short story" turned out to be a chapter from the book with a few extra paragraphs at the beginning, and a paragraph relating to incidents that took place earlier in the book removed.
