Title: Strangest thing ever :S
Post by Patrik on Feb 19^th, 2010, 12:20pm

Hey
I ordered beginning arimaa for some weeks ago. Today I got it delivered. After reading a few sides and checking the overall content of the book I was very confused. Afters some research I fond out what had happened.
What had happened was that I got the bok "Then Why Do I Have Toenails?" and the only thing I got from beginning arimaa was the cover :S. So in other words I got a book with the beginning arimaa cover and with "Then Why Do I Have Toenails?" content.
Did anyone else had this very strange problem?

This was the link I used when I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Arimaa-Reborn-Computer-Comprehension/dp/0982427409/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266608886&sr=1-1

That is very strange, I've heard of that with CDs but never with a book! Does the book at least explain whether rabbits & elephants have toenails?

Well, now you will know "How To Be The Best Atheist You Can Be."

At least they should have delivered The Atheist Camel Chronicles (http://www.amazon.com/Atheist-Camel-Chronicles-Arguments-Non-Believer/dp/1439236976/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b)

But seriously I don't know what you should do, I never bought physical things on line.

That is truly bizarre. I hope that this hasn't happened to anyone else, because it would eventually lower the average rating for "Beginning Arimaa". >:( Fortunately, since the books are printed and bound one at a time, exactly when they are ordered, you are probably the only one to whom it has happened, except for the fellow who got a book about Arimaa inside the cover of "Then Why Do I Have Toenails?".

Of course Amazon will send you a replacement if you explain what happened. And I'd hang on to the mistake as well; it could be worth a bundle when Arimaa hits the big time. :)

Tough toenails.

(Sorry I couldn't resist. ;D)
