I came across the following description. “Imperfectly Imprinted”. What does this mean exactly? Typo’s? Binding errors? Anybody have one? What is the advantage other than the reduced price?

Found this re the imperfect: It's slightly imperfect, so you get it for an outstanding price! Minor flaws on this spectacular deal may include wrinkled pages, stray marks, missing dust jackets, dented corners or spines, dusty page edges, or minor cracks in CD cases I'm guessing it's just a lower price thing...BTW, found the info @ christianbook.com...lots for sale there apparently First I ever heard of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyC Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 if you are looking to save money on a good bible, may i suggest a site called book closeouts dot com? they always have plenty of bibles, as well as every other kind of book imaginable, for way below retail.

I bought many of them brand new and sold them to others for what I gave for them. I paid 1/10th of the selling price then. I never remember paying over $3 for a leather bound reference bible. There was nothing in it or missing that was not in a first quality bible. Look through it good and buy it. A defect in the book will not cause a defect in the reader, but applying what is in the defected pages will align the believers walk with the Lord.

Guest Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 For anyone interested: Christianbook.com and Bookcloseouts.com are both good sites I have used for years. I've never had problems with returns or any problems with things purchased from them. The "slightly imperfect" books are usually only slightly dinged up or marked nothing that would keep you from using it, as was said earlier. Enjoy the discounted price.

I know you can get some real bargains if you're willing to cover up the mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I noticed that many times on other websites and third party vendors on big selling sites are actually selling you the "slightly imperfect" version except not mentioning it to you and charging you full price.
