The email says you have 30 days to mention if they missed a page. So I would assume they hold the pages for that long?

I'm sending them my complete Philip K. Dick short story collection. 2,000 pages for $20. That's cheaper than the $21 I'd have to pay for the eBook that contains 16 stories. 16! Each one of my collection volumes contains more than that, and I have 5 collections.

That's not a bad idea. Let us know what they say.
