October Issue Look a Bit Funny?

**Rich Lucibella** · August 27, 2002, 08:10 AM

You may have received a FREE Extension with your October S.W.A.T.! If you received a defective copy, we'll replace it and extend your Subscription by An Additional Issue...FREE!.

The problem appears to have been with the bindery at Brown Printing. Several hundred copies were affected in the early portion of the print run. These issues show pgs 21-24 and pgs 57-60 inserted twice, while pgs 25-28 and pgs 53-56 are missing.

We're set to replace defective copies immediately. And we've decided to offer a An Additional ONE MONTH EXTENSION to everyone who mails us back a defective copy.

For information on receiving your replacement issue and extension, go to
http://www.swatmagazine.com/misc/october.cgi

We apologize for this inconvenience and truly appreciate your business.

Best Regards from all of us at TEAM S.W.A.T.

Yes I have double articles in my issue of SWAT.

**4V50 Gary** · August 31, 2002, 11:11 AM

Guess the printer caught the error before they sent the Oct. copies out to the West Coast.

BTW, when I first opened the magazine, the first thing I see is my favorite ole coot here at TFL (written with reverence) who's probably forgotten more than I'll ever know, C. R. Sam.

Sent my flawed issue of SWAT down to ya before Friday, Rich.
Hope you get things all sorted out.

Sorry to say that mine has me seeing double. I'll send it back - assuming it won't be some valuable collectible some day, right?

As a just-in-case-you-missed-it reminder, don't forget to fill out the contact page found in the first post so you'll get your one month subscription extension and the replacement copy.

Could have sworn it was there when I posted. ??

Ledbetter · September 4, 2002, 01:34 PM

Hey, are you sure your not just trying to get back our "collectors' items?" Like a double-headed penny.

And I had no idea Sam was so damn good looking.

Regards.

Jamie Young · September 4, 2002, 08:03 PM

I sent mine back today. Sorry it took so long. Is there anyway to get a confirmation that I'm getting my extra 2 months? I just want to know it all went threw.

**Rich Lucibella** · September 4, 2002, 10:52 PM

SP-
Did you fill out the contact form? If not, the answer is no, you get one free issue plus the replacement. If so, you have my word. Need better than that? Email me an address, I'll send you a check for $6.22.
Rich

Jamie Young · September 4, 2002, 11:16 PM

Yeah I filled out the contact form.

Don't worry, Rich, I trust ya.
