I just got an email from Amazon. It said they could see the problem (and it did sound like someone actually checked) and would forward it to the proper section to be looked at. Meanwhile they issued a refund, although I hadn't asked for one; I'd have been willing to wait and see if it could be fixed.
Just a week or two ago I reported a problem with another book. I can't remember what book it was but it was from an agency publisher and the book file was for the wrong book. The look-inside for that one was bad too -- I guess I have a habit of not checking first. I emailed about that one at the time, and within a day or so they had changed the product page to say "not available at this time because of problems with the file" and a few days later it was fixed.
The Lathen book is still showing as available and the look-inside is still bad. I hope it's a legal copy and will be fixed soon.
It isn't as if I don't have plenty to read already. I went crazy back in March and bought all the Mr. and Mrs. North books and I've been enjoying those. I know I read most of them a long time ago but now one thing that really strikes me about them is that they seem to spend quite an amazing amount of time with cocktails and cigarettes.
