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.

Brilliant multiverse foreshadowing!

I have several books with duplicated sections. Not just paragraphs, but entire pages. They all came from book subscription services. Not sure if they got them for cheap because they were messed up or what.
