I've run across a few books like that and seriously thought it must be an error at first. I never did bother reading either of them, it's too annoying to sift through.
As DiapDealer said about that instance, that's technically how it should be done. It let's you know the same person is still speaking in the next paragraph, which I find very nice when reading. I often find newer books closing the quote, and that always gets confusing who is speaking next to me. I figured it was just a newer (lazier) trend to always use them instead of knowing when they should or should not be used.
