The book is now available for pre-order at Cult Screenings UK. I've been advised by the same bookbinder that it is fixable, however, the book will be sold as is. Just last year, Davis released Beware The Moon: The Story Of American Werewolf In London. As a result the boards have nearly completely separated from the spine. This is a latent defect in the product exacerbated by poor original shipment packaging from the publisher and overseas handling. This step was skipped in printing which resulted in only the end pages holding the boards to the book. ![]() Damage is due to a missing crash/mull that would otherwise bind the spine to the boards, as confirmed by a local bookbinder.

Book is new, hardcover, unread, and from the original print run by publisher Cult Screenings, UK in 2016.
