Holy shit. I was just dealing with this minutes ago.
>have half of a series in the original cover
>want the other half
>can't buy off of amazon used, because you don't know what cover you'll get
>can't buy off ebay because shipping too expensive
>can't buy new because new editions have shit covers
why are new covers such shit?

i was just thinking about how the later-era flipphones and early iphones from a decade ago are going to be collector's items

what are we doing on this planet

>can't buy off of amazon used, because you don't know what cover you'll get
This is such shit.
>cover of the item is the one you want
>can't buy it because you won't get it and have no way of knowing which one it actually is

It so fucking is. This once happened to me with a school book- I picked the one I needed and then I got an edition that was 30 years out of date. What the fuck.

Count yourself lucky you didn't get the edition that had Walt Disney branding with generic art of some movie star since the book was made into a film.
