RepKover lay-flat binding broken with very little use
RepKover lay-flat binding - I purchased Peter Krogh's DAM book through Amazon 2 weeks ago. I have barely used the book and the binding has already broken and will soon allow pages to fall out of the book. This was not an inexpensive book.

Hi, carolj12,
Sorry about the bad binding job; it affected a small percentage of the total print run for the book. Just send me your mailing address and I'll have a replacement copy sent to you immediately.
Apologies for the hassle,

The same thing happened with my "CSS - The Missing Manual" after one week usage.

FYI...this problem is not because it is a lay flat "repkover" binding. The problem can happen in any perfect bind book also usually because of not enough glue on the spine itself, not enough heat to the glue or the signature was not gathered properly. The book block is separate from the cover spine. Hope this explains.
