I'm over in sunny old England and my copy is holding up pretty well, so it could be a mainland Europe issue, or you could just be spectacularly unlucky.
Either way it seems like EvilHat take care of people and hopefully they will see that you are obviously a dedicated fan and deserve attention.

EDIT:  Oh and I completely agree about the beauty of the book.  I wouldn't be able to use a crappy printed copy knowing how stunning the original is.
