so why do we put up with that for the book of jam?

it doesn't replace it, who said that? it is something that
fills the gap, instead of having nothing...

they're perfectly fine, if you want to print out your own..
and want to save money, etc..

that being said, its a trade off...get it directly downloaded,
without the risk ....

or pray, that your order will actually make it out to you.. hopefully
the same year..

are we perfectly fine with book of jam pdfs? or do we always rather wish that it would all see the light of day in physical format, whether collected or individually?
i mean that pretty much proves my point, people are alwyas asking for a print version, and it's only not happening with more people because we secretly think a physical version will surface sooner or later.

and again, this is through uwlive.com.
not LHN
LHN doesn't even sell them anymore.
i live 70 miles away from the goddamn pacific and my socks got there well within 14 days.
you're shelling out a tenner for the wav just so that you can hold a bootleg product.
i mean do what you want, by all means, but assuming that a pdf and home printing is a decent stand in for the real thing is going 64kbps on the visual

Some of us don't.

Even the LHN site directs you to uwlive.com now:

I'd like to think it's because UW wanted to resolve the distribution problems with LHN, but whatever the reason, fulfillment should no longer be the nightmare it was earlier this year.
