Thanks to miscommunication between a friend and myself, I now have two copies of TGS here. I picked my copy up yesterday at Borders, she thought that for some reason I wasn't going to be able to get it on release day and had one sent to me from Borders.com.

 

The one that I picked up is what you would normally expect. When I got the one from the mail though, it's upside down. And I don't mean just the dust jacket is upside down, the entire book is upside down, if you hold it so the words on the spine are at the top and open it like a normal book you'll be reading the glossary from bottom to top.

 

So I want to know, has anyone else ordered their copy to be sent via mail and gotten something like this?

Errors in printing can and do occur such as missing pages, extra pages, upside down pages, etc.

 

If it is a problem for you, you can contact TOR and they will replace it with a good copy for free usually.

My copy of the fires of heaven has a whole extra chapter, that start in the middle of another chapter. Took me a sec to figure out whats going on

if your able to get it signed, then it could be worth money some day.

 

oddities are normally like that

 

especailly since its a 1st edition

I hadn't heard of the upside down problem, but many people have gotten TGS with chunks missing and out of order.
