You have in your hand pure unadulterated Southern America. I recommend buying a dulcimer and learning it while eating chicken fried steak and, of course, listening to Hank Williams.

To answer: I bought an Eames chair knockoff from Amazon. Within the box was not only the chair (which is actually really great/high quality) but also a pretty high quality box cutter and a bunch of random Chinese newspaper. Totally kept the box cutter.

Not a joke, OP. You have a very rare book that would sell in auction for literal millions. I recommend calling a lawyer and showing them the gold so you can protect your future money.

A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora going honky-tonkin'.

Amazon quickly and efficiently ships me everything I need and they are very nice.

If for some reason I don't get things in time or have complaints they fully refund me and let me keep the item.

Not very exciting stories.

One time I bought a dumb Warhammer book from an Amazon seller and it never showed up. The seller was pretty responsive and after two weeks decided yeah, the books not coming and we'll never get more copies and gave me a full refund.

Then six months later my apartment comes bitched that I had a package that had been sitting in their office for six months. So I got the Liber Chaotica for free. There's my Amazon story.

you didn't think to call the office to see if they had a package waiting for you?

Not really. UPS or FedEx always left packages at my door. Packages from USPS got dropped off at the office and then the mailman would put a slip in the mailbox saying there was a package in the office.

This book was the single deviation from that formula in my entire time there.

Also I hated the old ladies who ran the office and they hated everyone. And the book itself was only $20 so it wasn't a pressing financial concern, I guess?

EDIT: Or maybe I did check with them it's been like seven years who knows anymore.

Actually, it's like $155 on Amazon nowadays. Come to think of it the main reason I got it was the price because I think it was out of print then too.

I never said I was a role model
I hate ordering from Amazon anymore. The last time I only bought from them because I had a gift card. Two books, one of which was a particularly nice hardcover book. When it arrived, the packaging was terrible, if it can even be called that. Giant box which was ripped, a few pieces of crumpled brown paper, of course both books were badly dented and damaged.

They were nice and send me copies of the books in better packaging the next time with an agreement to send the damaged copies back. Which was cool I guess, but I was definitely annoyed with having to spend an hour on the phone with customer service and then having to go somewhere else to print out a return label because they couldn't be bothered to send me one when I specifically asked them to send me a return label since I don't have a printer.

Amazon used to pack things really well but they just don't at all anymore.

i think you should email the author of the book and tell him the story and then post the correspondence in this thread

I think Amazon has secretly discovered teleportation technology.

Recently I've been offered the option of FREE same day shipping.
So I ordered the item at noon and it was sitting on my porch at 5pm.
How do they possibly have the resources to do that?

You probably live near a distribution center and also they've focusing on growth (fueled in large part by continued capital investment) vs profit which means they very well might not have the resources to do it profitably but they want your business anyway.
