Sandstorm cover problem...

[johnsemlak]

I couldn't find a discussion of this anywhere, so I imagine I'm a bit rare in my experience. I just bought Sandstorm, and the cover of the book I bought was upside-down, or backwards, or whatever! If you look at the front cover and open it, you see the last page, upside-down.

Otherwise, it's fine. The main problem I forsee is it will be a bit wierd to read it in public places. I might have to put some sort of cover on it.

You could put a cover over it, or you could try to contact the place where you purchased it and ask for replacement copy.

Or you can contact WotC for a replacement (although you'll probably need to mail them the defective copy).

Ah, I'll probbably keep it. I figure it might become a collector's item. It's not really less useful in any particular way.

Although potentially confusing.

"Is this book in another language?!"

ha ha-

I sure someone will pay top $ for it. Disposable incomes are good.

or, you can boast to all your friends that you own a super-rare, collectible copy. It's always the defects that get the collectible attention.

I have that!

I have the same thing with my copy of Ghostwalk... I kept it for the "upside-down-stamp" appeal. Actually, I thought to return it but my significant other refused me flat-out, (she bought it for our collection.)

I like it.. it's neat and you hardly ever notice it after a while...

I'm a bit surprised this hasn't happened to more people. Is this likely something that happened to only one book, or a very small number?

My Frostburn cover is slightly off-centered. The front image starts on the spine, the spine part slightly overlaps on the back cover part.

Still, that's very mild compared to an inverted cover.
