Bought a $200 omnibus that was falling apart by page 50

I picked up that Absolute Sandman volume from a discount bin for $200, thinking I scored a deal. First read through and pages started coming loose around page 30. By page 50, the spine was completely cracked and a whole section fell out. Turns out it was a bad binding batch from the printer that year. I tried gluing it myself with some book repair stuff from Michaels, but it's still a mess. Now it sits on my shelf looking sad and I'm too annoyed to even finish reading it. Has anyone else gotten stuck with a defective omnibus or oversized hardcover from a specific printing run? How'd you handle returning one used?

My wallet and I both learned expensive lessons about trust that day.

My buddy Vic loaned his brother five hundred bucks and that was the last time either of us heard him talk about trust.
