I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

    I have a comic book that I think fell off the production line and got shuffled back together before stapling.

    You start from the back, upside down, then read about 5-6 pages, then flip it over and right side up for the next 5-6 pages, and keep doing that until it’s finished.

    My shop offered to exchange it, but I kind of like owning a book that’s upside down, inside out, and backwards.

      That kind of stuff makes for the most valuable collectibles. Like trading cards that got cut wrong or miss printed.

        I picked it up after hearing all the good things about Tom’s Crossing and both are sitting here taunting me. Hope to be able to dive in during Christmas vacation.
