Hi

I'm actually reading Stolen Soul and I notice that some of the letter bled or erase themselves

I'm not sure but I think that the color printing process for image and full black page inter chapter story may be in cause

This is still readable but you know ...

am I the only one who has had this problem ?

Not something that I have seen with my copy...might be best to take it back to your point of purchase and ask for an exchange.

I don't think it's enough to ask for an exchange or a refund

In a way it was just a heads up for the next release

some of the full colored pages and image have a grainy feel, I wanted to take a picture to show but I don't have a good lighting to do so ... and a phone's camera is kind of shitty

I think I see what you're talking about in my copy. Almost like there was a slight offset between the different color passes.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

the best example I have is at page 117 where the image of the troll/ork bled a little bit to the 116p. and vice versa

I can see where the line of text from 116 chafe (?) the image of 117

Oh, no. Nothing that bad. What I have is the occasional word (usually the start of a section) is a touch blurry. I think you have a printing defect.

Well, finally got a chance to check out my copy and not seeing any of the issues you've noted. Agree with PeterSmith that you've likely got a printing defect. If it was me, I'd likely return it ( I'm kinda anal that way...just noted a slight irregularity with the binding on the second last page...sigh), but to each their own.
