Mort Misprint

[Lenthil]

Now, I was just quietly reading my recently bought book Mort, when suddenly at page 48 the book starts all over again! This wouldn't be such a big problem, if it would simply continue there after, but if you reach page 48 again, it continues with page 97.

Help? Is this common with one print, or is this a new phenomena? What should I do? I really want to just read the whole book...

Oh and, please don't spoil I intend to read the whole book one way or another. Also, I'm quite new to the Discworld, I've only read 4 books so far and I love it (like anyone else here, I presume...)

Hi lenthil Your book's duff. Sorry!

If it's recently bought though, a refund shouldn't be out of the question?

 

[Lenthil]

The problem is, I bought it at a festival without a receipt, so I wouldn't know how to get a refund...

Erm... Anyone interested in a misprint?

 

[Dotsie]

Go directly to the publishers

 

[Lenthil]

Well, there's that too. But I live in the Netherlands, do they cover other countries too?

Welcome to the site, Lenthil!

It's really annoying when something like that happens and more annoying as the person who sold it probably knew it was a duff copy. I hope you manage to get a replacement copy easily.

You might want to try somewhere like Play.com where they have copies for as little as £2.49 with free delivery to Europe.

That happened with my old copy of going postal. And I didn't notice untill my second read through (Blame lack of sleep and caffine)

Welkom Lenthill! You can always try the publishers
Niet geschoten is altijd mis (that bit was in Dutch )

 

[Lenthil]

Wow thanks guys! I really appreciate your advice and help Now I really want to finish that book!

En het is ook leuk om te weten dat er Nederlanders op dit forum zitten (this is Dutch)

Welcome Lenthil

Don't return it!

There MUST be a market out there for misprinted Discworld books, just as there is for misprinted stamps and currency. This may be your retirement someday!

My art textbook has a few doubled pages.
I had a weird deja vu loop until I realized.

Hellooo and welcome Lenthill! I was wondering the same as Raisindot since misprinted stamps and some other misprinted items can be worth a few quid.

Hi and welcome to the forum Lenthill.

DAMN! And I dropped my misprint in a mud puddle by accident while camping.

I would have certainly been confused if my book started over at page 48 . Never encountered any misprints like that.

Wait a minute... did everyone else have that page and a half of repeated Bengo's credentials in Unseen Academicals?

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Yes I think that is supposed to the be funny

Sorry, this is no market for misprinted dirty books.

I thought that was funny!
There's a football chant that goes;

"There's only one (insert what you like)
There's only one (insert what you like)
One (insert what you like)
There's only one (insert what you like)

But I'm sure everyone already knew that.
