It was an university level textbook in my library. The cover was supposed to be a book about linguistics, but the content was an unrelated book about some medieval text. Somehow they put one cover onto another book. The library returned it shortly after I discovered the error.
Wasn’t a “prank” or a maybe returned book to get money back but kept the material?
I don't think so. The book was basically brand new. Both on the outside and inside.
