madbakerI started a book yesterday. It's the final book of a trilogy, so I'm curious to see how things turn out.
I get 35 pages in... and the sentence is cut off by a new chapter that makes no sense. Huh? Look blankly for a bit, eventually figure out that the page number is 424 instead of 36. Ah, I see - the printer screwed up that quire (he says, showing off the bookbinding knowledge gleaned from the wife). Okay, flip to page 424 to continue reading from the mixed-up page 36.
It's also page 424. They've killed 40 pages of this book. And I got it from the library, so I can't even march back to the bookstore for an exchange. Guess I'll have to wait four to six months for the library bureaucracy to get a new one.
Aaargh!
What I'm reading: Nothing. Didn't you read the post above? Sheesh.
