A couple years ago, my wife and I were at a bed and breakfast for our anniversary, and there was a copy of the Little House on the Prairie books. I started reading, and then I noticed that part of the book was repeated. There was a huge section of one book that was missing and in its place was repeated text.

I had forgotten all about that version, but I had seen it before. I believe it was in the 70's that there was a botched printing where they had inserted the wrong pages, and it made it to the stores. And here, many years later, someone has a set in my B&B room.

My wife has an encyclopedia of fictional places. It is interesting reading about fictional lands, but there was a whole section missing. It is much easier to update an e-book, if a botched paper book gets to the shelves, it is a real problem.
