Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: Re: book or hammer mystery?

[John Burger (jburger]

Wow – that’s a new one.  And not in a good way. 

 

Definitely file a damage claim with Lanter.  At some point they will have so many claims they will have to sit up and take notice.

Morning All

 

We’ve just got our 2^nd book in this month that looks like it’s been used as a hammer or it’s been beaten with a pointy meat mallet.

 

The first one, was an older book that had been oft used, and had seen some better days, but the cover wasn’t pock marked when it when out. 

 

Now, here’s a 2^nd book, it was the first time it had been checkout so I KNOW it didn’t go out that way.  Also, the call # tape and spine appear to be ‘sheared’ so that the tape & call number has come completely off the spine.

 

The books were lent to different libraries, we’re pretty sure, although both have been shipped via Lanter.

 

Has anyone else noticed something like this?   The first one happened about a couple weeks ago, the 2^nd one arrived yesterday.
