Collected editions cost some scratch and some collected editions are poorly constructed. I remember when Absolute Watchmen was first released and the glue from the slipcase stuck to the dust jacket, tearing paper from the book. This error was quickly corrected, but the instance made me realize that these books are products and like all products their quality depends upon their production values.

Do you have stories of purchasing a collected edition that was horribly put together?

Which book?

Thanks.
