Never mind (at least tentatively).

Later in the day I got an email from the publisher,
saying they're going to send me a corrected copy

Evidently if you get a bad copy you don't have to complain
to the publisher or the retailer, you just have to post
a complaint somewhere where Google can see it...

DU.
