Defensive Book Design for the Eyes and Hands

I just got a copy of "Defensive Design for the Web" by the folks over at 37signals. In what I hope is a weird yet plausible mixup by their publisher or Amazon.com, the copy I have looks like it was printed on a laser printer that was low on toner.

All the screenshots are in a kind of low-resolution grayscale with really horrid color representation, and any part of the page that's supposed to be all black (like the top of a page that introduces a new Guideline) shows the obvious low-toner printer effects (uneven coverage, and if you look at the actual page from an angle in the light, you can see the toner on the page -- this is a hard thing to describe but I think you know what I mean). Anything that's supposed to be gray (like the page backgrounds on the Chapter introduction pages and the backgrounds of the "From the customer..." callout boxes) is, in a word, crappy. As a matter of fact, I don't know if those pages should be gray, they just are in my copy.

I'll try and take some pictures that show what I'm talking about. Is everyone's copy of this book like this?

Forget it, I'm returning it to Amazon.
