I lost my collection of WOT books in Katrina. Finally finding myself with a bit more free time recently, I've decided to reread the series in anticipation of the new book. I bought my new book one from B&N and found a portion of the book printed upside down. A span of about 30 pages is flipped over. Each page is not separately inverted, but rather, the entire section is upside down. Visually, I read to the misprint and then had to flip the book over, shift 30 or so pages and read back toward the front of the book. Has anyone else noticed this on a wide scale or is this unique?

Which book are you referring to, Eye of the World?

I bought my new book one from B&N

Yes, sorry. Its EotW. Its paperback as well.

Sounds like a printer error which can occur. You can return it to B&N for another copy or else keep it as a collector's copy.
