With a note from Australia Post:

" Dear Customer,

Your item has been received at this post office in a wet and damaged condition.
Unfortunately your item was damaged whilst under the control of the airlines and not during Australia Post handling.
We have dried and repaired the item and have forwarded onto to you to avoid further delay.
We apologise for any inconvinience caused by this unfortunate situation"

Thru some sort of miracle, the book didnt seem to have incured any extra damage thru its ordeal (none that Carr cant fix anyway ;))

Although its not as nowhere near as valuable as its US counterpart, these Australian versions are tough to find...

I was already aware of the soft fold on the top part of the book and I'm pretty sure every other defect was already there..
But judging by the envelope, it looks like it came off second best against the mail sorter.

Still counting myself lucky coz it could've been a lot worse...
