    Default Amazon Question

    Why is it that Amazon frequently gives wrong information on contents of trades? Is the description for 'The Terrifics: Vol 2' correct? #7-12 & Annual #1

    No idea on the correctness of this particular description, but the metadata at Amazon has been notoriously unreliable almost since the beginning. They are far more focused on getting information in early and quickly about new releases than about data integrity or actually correcting stuff. I have heard this complaint from several authors, editors, and book publishers.
    «Speaking generally, it is because of the desire of the tragic poets for the marvellous that so varied and inconsistent an account of Medea has been given out» (Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History [4.56.1])

    The information on Amazon is received from the publishers very early in the solicitation process. When the corrections are sent later, Amazon may not feel it's worth it to change the information.
