This is my first mosaic. Is it going to be a disaster when I set and grout it if I keep this spacing? I feel like it’s a lot bigger than I usually see and I don’t know enough to know what it would do.

A couple weeks ago I ordered a folio society copy of the count of Monte cristo for myself as a treat. (If you’re inclined to get snobby about how folio society books aren’t worth collecting, please don’t. I like them and they bring me joy and I can, sometimes, even afford them. Keep the snobbery.)

Ordered from a reputable online retailer, made sure the listed edition and publisher were right, got excited.

Finally came today only to be a completely different edition and publisher, for which there was no previous communication and I was charged $100 (!!!) for a copy I could likely pick up for $10 anywhere else.

I’m furious. I’ve already emailed. How often does this happen, and should I be prepared to have my heart broken in this way more often?
