What's the weirdest typo/error you've seen in a book?
(lemmy.world)
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.
Have you perchance read House of Leaves? It's a mess [admiringly].
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.
