They'd probably replace it, though I don't know if they'd be able to send
you a hardcover as a replacement.. 'Course if I were you I'd just Xerox the
eight pages from someone else, or if you can afford it, buy a new one and
save your old misprint as a collector's item. Who knows? Someone might
consider such things valuable. >8->

Had a similar mistake with the old _Paranormal Animals of North America_
that I picked up just a few months ago.. Eight of the pages near the end
were put in upside-down. >8-> Makes it a pain to look up certain animals,
but I find it funny.


Blessings,

I don't think it woulda been that bad if they had been upside down or
something, but, the pages were as blank as a freshly made sheet of paper. I
was planning on saving it because it was still in really good condition. DO
you happen to have their number?
