Just received (half) a copy from Amazon UK. It is now packaged up for return to amazon, I assume it is faulty. it ends abruptly in chapter 10 and is about 7mm thick as against the 13mm advertised by amazon.
Am I correct in my assumption? Is it safe re-ordering from Amazon UK or is this just a one off?
