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.

Oh jeez, makes you curious how something like that is able to happen.

I don’t know when computers took over typewriting for manuscripts and typesetting, but at some point some stuff just shouldn’t happen.
