D&D 5E Should I Keep My Volo's Guide

[Jester David]

I ordered a second copy of Volo's Guide to Monsters. Because I hate using my fancy cover version.

I got this:


The inside is upside down!!
Or the outside is downside up.

Also, the bottom of half the some of the pages look like this:


Should I just keep it? It's usable still. And a fun curiosity/ misprint.

Or should I contact a WotC customer services and try and get a replacement?

I'd get a replacement. While it is still functional I don't imagine you'll get much fuss from them if you explain the situation.

 

[cbwjm]

Unless you really like the novelty value, I'd ask for a replacement due to the defective printing.

 

[dropbear8mybaby]

I'd keep it because in a few years time, it'll be a collector's item.

So now you need to buy a third

 

[Lanliss]

I would probably keep it, personally. Misprints that are still usable are fun. I would also put it in the bookshelf with the cover upside down, so that anyone else who saw it would be confused, and mildly uncomfortable, as that is what happens to logical people when a book is put away wrong.

 

[CrusaderX]

My Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide was printed upside-down. I ordered it from Amazon, and ended up sending it back to get a corrected copy.

 

[Morrus]

I would keep it. I think one day you'd regret getting rid of it. Especially since its your second copy.

 

[Rune]

Ha! I have a PHB like that! There was a whole stack of them at my local Hastings when they (that is, Hastings) still existed!

 

[Mercurius]

I didn't realize you were a small child, Jester David.

I didn't realize you were a small child, Jester David.

Haven't you been reading my posts? Don't I act like one half the time?



(Well, actually when snapping the pictures my 6yo son came down and I showed him the book to see his reaction. He was very confused for a couple seconds. Then we had to go through the book as I told him what all the monsters were.)
