Thirty years of adventure, BIG error?

[schnee]

Okay, maybe it's just my copy... but I'm thinking not. For those of you who have bought Thirty Years of Adventure, is Nik Davidson's essay/bio in there twice? I have him on both pages 98 and 194?

What the heck is that?! That's a pretty big mistake. Of course, it is still a "gaming book" so I guess it is to be expected.

No, speaking as someone in publishing, that sort of thing just happens sometimes, and it's not an indication of D&D being lower on some totem pole. Return it, you'll get a replacement no problem.

The book is designed not only as a retrospecitive for those whom already play the game but also to open the game up to people who may not nessesarily be gamers. They can look through it and see faces they know whom have been influenced by this game.

People can now pick up the book while at a friend's place and say.. Hey wow "insert celebrity here" played that D&D game you play? Maybe it's NOT such a dorky thing after all...

That's the thing, though... it's not just a misbinding... they actually put that bio in twice. The background is different, and the other side of the page is different, as is the page number. There's nothing to replace it with... any replacement will have the same thing.
