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.

I have a cookbook with about the middle third of the book is bound on the wrong side so the page numbers jump up and reverse for a bit.

Otherwise — related to text issues — the early versions of one of the last two Jim Butcher books that came out back-to-back has a moment with Dresden interacting with a character named Sanya and there’s a typo where it’s printed “Santa” instead. And given you have met “Santa” in the Dresden files by this point it took me a moment to realize it was a typo and not that the other character had just shown up.

I had a similar typo in one of my books, typo was a character name and took me a minute to figure out what the issue is.

I can’t recall that one off the top of my head though, I share them with my brother, so I would have an image of it SOMEWHERE.
