What's the weirdest typo/error you've seen in a book? (lemmy.world)

I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

"Number of the Beast" is not one of his good ones.

It makes zero sense to me that the same people who gave us nineteen versions of 'The Hunger Games' wouldn't make a movie of 'Tunnel In The Sky.'

It got almost no publicity when it came out, so let me know if you've seen this one.

Predestination. Based on "...All You Zombies."

"Number of the Beast" is a terrible novel. Just stop now.

Pretty much everything he did after "Friday" is unreadable. imho.
