And yet there were a couple of people in this very thread who noticed enough issues in the sample for your very specific example (some quite terrible) that they knew they would never spend their $8 on it. They were looking at different issues, sometimes, but nonetheless ...

Go figure.

EDIT: Never mind. They were talking about a different book apparently.

Sure, things fall though the cracks sometimes. There's still the refund route if you feel ripped off.
