A guy just delivered these. The books themselves appear to be fine. But get a load of this:
Knowing Taschen, I think this box has been opened and ‘re-packaged’ (the black ‘tape’). And it’s obviously been pretty roughly handled. And the paperwork in the plastic doodad on top has been removed. What’s that all about?
I think I’ll email Taschen about this, see what they say. Plus I want to find out who the carrier was. As I’m not too happy about their handling of my goods. At least the books themselves appear to be alright.
Very strange!
