Before asking this question, I did search the forums for any similar topics/posts and only one came up and it wasn't very informative. 

To the Serif crew, can you give, even a very general guess, a timeline for the Affinity Publisher workbook release date? Or at least provide some sneak peak into how far along you are in creating it? I already have the first two workbooks in my personal library. I would love to get the final workbook in the series; especially with the ground-breaking studio-link feature being included in the Affinity Publisher Workbook. 

I am a very patient person, I just ask for an occasional update on progress if you can manage it.

Edit: Or move this to the appropriate forum.

If you own previous workbooks, you know that they focus on the description of certain work procedures, ie what and how to do, and not on the description of individual tools/functions and how they work. So although StudioLink is a unique feature of APublisher, I wouldn't expect any detailed description of how it works. I would rather look at the forum, where quite a bit has been said.

Ah Ok. Now I have learned one more way to use a search engine. That clears it up. Affinity Publisher may not have progressed far enough along for them to feel confident about starting to make the final workbook for publisher.

@GW86

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums :) 

I must agree, lets hope it is not common. I know the stickering process is a manual step taken in our warehouse before shipping boxes on to Amazon for distribution, so that is a concern as this may have happened to a whole box of German Workbooks (or perhaps more, eek!!).

I have seen your email to AffinityOrders@serif.com and brought this to the attention of the Customer services team who will be replying directly and sending you a correct replacement.

I’m sorry to say I think it might be! I’m in the same boat, and I’m not the only other one. :(

Edited to add: The label on the back says:

The corners would have benefited from more protection than was ever going to be provided by a thin cardboard mailer for such a substantial book. Although not seriously damaged, they are slightly bashed.
