Vent: Took me 2 hours to figure out this book was printed upside down

Found a 1967 guide to home mushroom growing at a thrift store in Akron for $3. The cover was fine but when I opened it, all the text was upside down and backwards from page 15 onward. I spent 45 minutes flipping it around thinking I was losing my mind before I looked at the binding - someone just glued the whole middle section in wrong. Drove me nuts because I actually wanted to read it for a weird hobby project. Has anyone else found a printing defect this bad that made you question your own sanity?

Had a dictionary once where every page after G was just blank.

Ha yeah that's wild, I totally get that. I had this old Spanish dictionary once and I swear it just stopped at the letter M. Like someone just got bored halfway through. The pages after M were all blank too, just paper and nothing else. Maybe it was a misprint or something, but it always bugged me. I mean, how do you even look up a word past G? You just have to guess.
