Question: Are books with mistakes (pages printed in wrong order, etc!.) worth more, or is it junk!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Usually these are just a mistake that occurs during the printing of the book - signatures assembled in the wrong order, typos, pages cut oddly, etc!.!. and these are fairly common these days!. I don't think these mistakes would increase the value of a book unless it was a specific misprint - something from a different book (especially if it hasn't been released yet) that appears in your book or something that changes the meaning of the book significantly!. There would probably be more value placed on an older book that has a mistake, but it would have to be something on the order of the Upside-down Jenny airmail stamp - lots of rarity but still farily well known!. For modern books, it is more likely just an error in high-speed, high-volume production or because the publisher didn't do a good job proofreading before sending the book to press!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
