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.

Might be worth something to a collector if you still have it.

It's me! I'm the collector! It can be worth something to another collector after I'm dead, it's staying on my bookshelf until then (or until AI takes my job and leaves me destitute).
