The front cover was bent double and it looked like it had been kicked across the floor.

I had a similar problem with the slip case of the limited book I ordered for my father. This was only sent out in a padded bag and was crushed on arrival. Most publishers use cardboard box type packaging which cannot be damaged. A padded bag is IMHO not a great way to send out a £75 book.

However everything worked out fine. I emailed my concerns to Polygon and a guy called Steve sent out another slipcase - this time in a strong card box. Second time lucky.

So Volker, if you try Steve at Polygon, he should sort you out. Good luck!

Rob.
