And the trade book size had bad covers on 4 out of 6 copies. Then they had a bad shipping label on an order and it was returned to them for re shipping. They've been good about fixing things but I just couldn't believe how many things went wrong! When they're good, they're good, but I just had so many strange issues with them that I'm leery of using them again. Price is certainly an issue if it's for retail sale. Great for personal use and gifts though.
