Mine is in the mail box today, he sent me photos of the issues...personally I told him to contact Lulu and tell them, to me it isn't acceptable quality for the service.

I plan to check my book against his photos tonight to see if there are any of the same issues.

Here is what Grim told me and I was going to check with mine...

One pic is foreign matter under the inside cover. Good enough to put a dimple in the next page.
A pic of the binding. You can see it wasn't fully glued. For now it is ok but after prolonged use will it split or get worse?
A couple of pages were misglued, for lack of a better term, and to separate em would tear the page.
 
In the end, i wouldn't have bought this particular copy on a shelf if i had a chance to look it over first.

As I said: I would bring it up to Lulu as I am sure they would make the book copy right....

So far, mine has none of the issues...the binding at the bottom of the book near the spine is a bit weak with glue, but an easy fix with some white glue. So far, no issues like Grimm had...

Nope, i am the special one. :-)
Getting with Lulu when i get home.
Glad everyone elses copies are good.

Grimm

UPDATE..........
Last couple of days been figuring out Lulu's process. Not hard at all mind ya but a link they sent me aren't Chrome friendly.
But Lulu has worked me out excellently. Sending me a new book at no charge. BE PoDed and sent to me in a few. Said they seen the few pics i sent was more than enough for a replacement.
Said the old book wont need to be sent back.
I did let Lulu know that everyone has been happy with the process and their product and i was the only unfortunate to get a unperfect copy.
Kudos to all.
Here is to hope the new copy doesn't have repeats.

I missed the April sale, but I have ordered the HC version today. :)

I still honestly think it would have been funded via KS and was genuinely surprised the project was cancelled in the last few days. :)

I was surprised as well.  Seemed to be going okay.  Relying on tracking software to predict funding has led to similar last-minute pulls, though.

Googled Supersystem 4th in print and found this thread and purchased a hardcover copy from Lulu - they even has a 25% off Memorial Weekend sale on until midnight tonight. They're practically paying you to pick up a copy of this awesome (I assume, I'll know for sure in a few days) book! I was really disappointed when the kickstarter was cancelled, but this is/was great news! Just curious though, the kickstarter campaign mentioned 256 pages and the Lulu version is 180. I assume Scott used powers beyond the ken of mortal men to compress all that 4th edition goodness into fewer pages?

Hmmm, how many figs can I get painted up in the next 2 weeks?

That page count number was based on a an older, smaller layout model. When we went to the standard, 8.5 x 11 format, the page count went way down.

As to your other question--only you can tell us how many minis you can crank out before your book arrives!  ;D

I'm probably wrong but I thought I read a post from Scott somewhere that the printed book also came with a PDF download. Just wanted to confirm before asking Lulu support.
