This item was kindly offered as free stuff ... the author spent his own time offering something to you ... it can be packaged however they want in my opinion. Now lets suppose that the author placed a nice fluffy picture on as a thumb: You'd get a bit of a shock when you opened the PDF wouldnt you. The thumb in this case IS representative of the work. Maybe we should complain about the content as well as the thumb ? (strange state of affairs) Barrie.
