    Hello, i have some questions about a book i found in my folks old stuff. It appears to the Cat in the Hat Beginner Book Dictionary (not sure if first print, copyright page missing) However the entire book is printed upside down and in reverse. The book opens to the start of Alphabet at Z and ends with A and the entire print is upside down. I was wondering if anyone had heard of a print like this as i was unable to find anything on google concerning any misprints. Would be most grateful for any information anyone may have.

    Thank you,
    Paul S.

    When books are made in a factory the cover is put on last. What you have was a mistake in the factory because the book was placed in the cover machine upside down. The fact that the copyright page is missing probably means that the book was returned to the maker as defective. They most likely removed the copyright page and then sold it for pennies to a discount store or gave it away to some charity.

    This is not a stamp. Book collectors want well preserved first editions.

    I used to have Ozzy's "Blizzard of Ozz" record, that had an ELO label in the middle of the record.

    I was f'n bummed when I opened it and found that, until I played it, it was Ozzy. Whew!

    Don't get me wrong, I liked ELO too, but Ozzy's new album was hot off the press and I was all revv'd up for it you know.
