so I started reading it and as I did it felt a bit weird, thought it was the sleeve so I removed it. As it turns out the binding paper is loose on both front and back covers. Thankfully I know about book binding and can fix this issue myself with some book specific adhesive. I'd post a picture but I'm on my phone currently so I'll do so later. It's annoying to have to fix something you have purchased so I hope Fakku is able to do a more through press check before sending printed stuff out. Love it none the less, happy with my purchase :)
Are you talking about the actual binding for the end sheets? Or that the first and last end sheets are glued to the cover?
If the actual binding is messed up, sorry about that. There are a lot of books and they're all shrink wrapped before we get them. If it's coming apart you could return it to us for a new copy.
However, the end sheets were specifically glued to the inside covers only on the outside edge. This is a technique that Wanimagazine uses and I like it so I kept it for our releases. The pink end sheets look nice and go with the FAKKU color scheme, and also protect the cover and the first pages(especially if they're color). We don't glue them all the way or else it would bend and look strange.
I'm sorry you had to do some DIY on your book but hopefully this helps!
I see, yea extensive gluing can cause warping on non-hardcover books. Keeping it as original as possible is also a good thing. Glad to hear its not a mistake :D
will keep this in mind when I preform my ero-book surgery.
