@siobhansarelle @energisch_ @cooopsspace @ajsadauskas @green I recently had a book delivered from Amazon where they had sort of gone to far the other way. While a paper bag may be good environmentally, it was lousy for a large hardback book which ended up bent. They used to use a nice rigid cardboard book sized carton for sending books.

That sounds more like an issue with shipping than with Amazon’s packaging.
Books just need to be handled differently and then probably placed with similar items.
@skyfire101 @energisch_ @cooopsspace @ajsadauskas @green
Is the book still bent?
@siobhansarelle @energisch_ @cooopsspace @ajsadauskas @green yes it's, only a slight bend now. It is sitting under some heavy books on a flat surface.
@skyfire101 @energisch_ @cooopsspace @ajsadauskas @green
There are people that would have sent the book back.
There are publishers that throw out books for very minor issues.
I used to live near one and could get perfectly good books for free. They lock it all up now.

This also reminds me: lots of paper is not recyclable either.
