Smaller Than Average Books?

[Kevin.J]

Have you compared it with another regular-sized copy? Is the cover missing some details? Are the margins smaller in the interior?

 

Not trimmed, just like 90-95% the size of a similar ASM issue, like they'd been shrunk or produced slightly different. The covers look *exactly* the same, with no trimming guaranteed, and like I said, I bought all, or at the least, most of these myself.

 

I have a feeling this is a Canadian thing, with maybe a secondary printer being brought in and not having the correct specs on the machines.

 

I can remember seeing some of these, its a long time ago but you have just jogged my memory, I needed a few AMS issues and when I was going through the box I saw one of the books I needed was a bit smaller, I asked the seller if it was trimmed and he said no it was just made like that.

I didnt like the sound of that or the look of he book, so I passed.

I live in the UK and not many Canadian books make it to here, so dunno.

Sorry, I know none of this helps at all, just musing is all

I'm pretty sure some of the ones I remember seeing when I re-bagged them included Amazing Spider-man 145 and 146, the Scorpion 2-parter.
