You deserve a new copy from the publisher IMHO.
Don't let bad luck discourage you to appraise such a nice book.

@ Andreas : You're right about the word "definitive" but I think it has been used here with joyfully enphasis rather than to be taken literally.

As a matter of fact, I kind of like somewhat tattered books (just like "very used" swords and comfort food )
I am not going to use this book as a "coffee table" one (or, at least, I hope not! ) , so some feeling of wiggly binding does not scare me. I just hope the pages do not start falling out. Then, it's bad
