Any Recent Buyers of The Graduate(R2)?

Like many of us in the US, I've been enjoying the great deals at CD Wow. I just received my UK copy of The Graduate from them. Although the set is described on their web page (and in online reviews) as having a 64 page booklet, my copy came with absolutely zilch.

I asked CD Wow about this, and received a form letter offering to exchange the title.

My question, though - I wonder if Momentum just stopped producing the book? My copy of Aardman Animations, bought a while ago had no booklet, and apparently it did originally.

So - if any of you have picked this up recently (especially from CD Wow) - did you get the booklet? I'd hate to return this to CD Wow just to get another empty case in return.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I bought the R2 version a month ago from StreetsOnline and it did come with the booklet. The booklet is certainly nice, but not essential.

I have also been thinking of picking this up from Bensons World. I have never shopped with CD Wow. Are their prices better?

Indy, they don't stock all titles, like Bensons. But when they do have a title, they usually can't be beat. Check them out.

Thanks, I will give them a shot. How is their delivery?

I'm in Boston, MA. It usually takes about 4-5 days to get to me, although one package only took three.

The booklet offers from Momentum (the UK distributor) were intended to be a limited offer (see link below) -unfortunately they still (or did) print that it's included on the case info.


The booklet is nice and well worth the bother if you're a fan. You could try contacting Momentum directly -or getting someone to pick it up for you (the difference in weight is quite a bit so is easy to tell if it's included).

This is a great DVD release of one of my favourite films and is superior to the USA disc.
