Channels of Acupuncture & Secondary Channels

[Guest guest]

Has any one yet purchased:

 

" Channels of Acupuncture & Secondary Channels "

 

From Giovanni Maciocia?

 

I purchased a copy in December and started going through it to find that there

are entire

sections that are misprinted and so missing some 30 or more pages. (Problems

start showing

up around page 100)

 

The nature of the missing pages is such that I believe every copy would have

such problems. I

have sadly been getting the run around (passed from one e-mail address to the

next) and

have not had any return phone calls from the publisher (Elesvier). This is of

course very

disturbing especially since there is no errata on the web site, etc.

 

I'd like to know if anyone else has the book to confirm this is a universal

problem.

 

Thanks,

David Botton

This is most likely a bindery problem. These books are printed in

Asia where the costs are cheap but every bindery makes mistakes and

the faster and cheaper the bindery, the more mistakes.

I have spot-checked the supply at Redwing Books and did not find any

copies with missing pages. That dosen't mean there are not a lot of

copies with missing pages in circulation, just that I didn't find any

in the current Redwing stock.

 

You need to return the book to the company from which you ordered the

book. Call first. Elsevier is a huge multi-billion dollar

conglomerate and I don't doubt you've played email tag but the persons

responsible for replacing your book are the persons from whom you

purchased it. If you bought it from Redwing, call Redwing; if you

bought it from Amazon, call Amazon; if you bought it from your school

bookstore, they will arrange for a new copy with their supplier. It

always helps to have a copy of your invoice or receipt but most

booksellers will have a record they can access.
