Would folks be OK with that if it > meant removing the wrap? Certainly for me I would be more than happy to have the wrap removed. I've had a few books come over from the US and all have arrived intact so I am happy to trust them. If it doesn't, hey its my own fault :) Anyway the book is bound to arrive in better nic that the copy of the 1st Ed that I ordered from Amazon UK. The colour was very dull from a collection of dirty marks on the cover. > Alternatively, we could include with each a signed card or label that > you could insert into the book after opening it. Would that work? Cards are easily lost and depending on the size of your natural signature, you might need a huge label :) Plus its extra expense to get either of those things.
