BreathTaker he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Heeeeeeellllllp!!!!! I just bought WoR 2 days ago and I am loving it so far BUUUUT, as I was getting out of the car this morning in a rush to get in to work I dropped my precious book and the back cover ripped and completely came off the book what can I do? 2
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Tell people "you should see the other book." But seriously, my condolences. Edited May 2, 2014 by EMTrevor 6
Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Just tell people that you did it on purpose because you wanted to create your own cover with the Book's Original Title. 2
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) The map of Roshar is split in twain. The front cover is still attached but my chest hurts. When I saw it was torn I wanted to summon my Shard Blade and cut everything in my path down.On a happier note I'm already on page 488 and I love it. Edited May 2, 2014 by BreathTaker 1
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 What was the magnitude of the earthquake when it hit tge ground? 3
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) There is a crack in the pavement of my parking lot. My sister-in-law who was in the backseat sleeping, jumped. If it had the dust-cover on it Kaladin would have been shattering the earth... actually I'm not sure he didn't. All told final magnitude: over 9000 Edit: I just... ghetto rigged it to stop further damage and taped the map back together and the tear along the spine. It will suffice for now. Maybe after bills I will buy a new copy to keep on the shelf but probably not, it has character now. That's what I get for this book being my comfort blankie. Edited May 2, 2014 by BreathTaker
Khyrindor he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TREAT IT LIKE YOUR BABY! YOU JUST RIPPED YOUR BABY IN HALF!That is really unfortunate :/ sorry about your book. 1
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TREAT IT LIKE YOUR BABY! YOU JUST RIPPED YOUR BABY IN HALF! . DON'T MAKE IT WORSE I was treating it like my baby, not eating while reading, washing my usually filthy hands (I'm an aircraft fueler) like 50 times before reading and I take it everywhere. All my books are my babies. I'm devastated but it's still readable so I am doing so now.

Quiver he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 "Book down! Book down! Drop it on the ground! Book down! Book down! Rip the cover all around!" I am so sorry. Neither you, nor Les Mis deserved that. Seriously, sympathies. My omnibus Lord of the Rings got a few pages creased when I dropped it and it killed my reread. Major sympathy for what happened WoR. 1
Shardmancer he/him Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Create your own personal cover- with aspects of all cool Sanderson stuff and post it HERE!
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Dust cover is fine, I leave that at home, it's the book itself.
Baine he/him Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 You know those plastic covers on the dust jackets of library books? WELL YOU CAN BUY THEM TOO AND BE ABLE TO CARRY THE AWE-INSPIRING DUST JACKET AROUND WITH YOU! Seriously, they're awesome. Google "Dust jacket protectors" or something. I put them on all my hardcovers.
Delightful Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Oh no that's horrible!!!! Crazy idea.....do you think it would be at all possible in this day and age to find a bookbinder who could re-attach the cover for you?
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 doubtful, too bad I'm not a lightweaver, I could ask it to please rebind itself. Would that work?
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 "But think of how much fun it would be"
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 No Nightblood that's evil, you'd have to kill yourself after.
Left he/him Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I don't know I think that there are books that I would gladly through NB at. (Looking at twilight) 1
BreathTaker he/him Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Why are you looking at that? You said books Caleb not pieces of wasted dead tree containing ink(and poop) smears. They are evil. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 As much as I love a good book bashing, I am afraid I am unfit to join this one. I have neither read the books nor watched the movies, and am thus woefully incapable of joining in the criticism with a clear conscience. Carry on, comrades. Carry on. 1
Left he/him Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Well that's true, maybe I was really looking at Hunger games and the 28th shannarra book.
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Hunger Games was alright, but the next two were bad. She should have changed perspectives instead of making Katniss whinier than Kaladin. Edited May 5, 2014 by EMTrevor
