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.

Have you perchance read House of Leaves? It's a mess [admiringly].

I picked it up after hearing all the good things about Tom's Crossing and both are sitting here taunting me. Hope to be able to dive in during Christmas vacation.
