One of the books I've bought recently actually doesn't have anything in it besides the cover image (which is a Ballantine Books generic one), story, and a page "About this author". The text is not justified and it has whitespace between every paragraph. There is a HUGE style sheet, but the coders / automated system forgot all the dots in front of the style classes.

It feels like an OCR-ed pirate version, but it isn't.

I'll have to put the dots in front of the classes and replace the cover image, and see how the book will look then. To some extent I came to expect the front and back matter in books in such a way that they now feel incomplete if it's not there.
