Rare? Upside Down Book.

StewieGriffin07

Hi

I found this rather odd book, Lemony Snicket . Series of Unfortunate Events.
Book the Third, Its unusual because its printed upside down and back to front, I was told this is rare in a book, Is this true? Is this a one of a kind or Would there be many like this? I know its definatly collectable, But is it worth alot of money or is it of great value?
Thanks

Sounds very interesting Stewie, if memory serves me right I 'think' there was once a book on Antiques Roadshow that was in a similar condition to yours, upside down and inside out. Unfortunately I cant remember what book it was, or an estimate they gave for it.

I cant imagine that the book would be valuable because its printed wrong, more so a novelty value perhaps.

I know what you mean, But still it is a irregular.... So i suppose its rare to have... Thanks for the info anyway...anyone else have any noction?

Are you sure the cover isnt just on upside down?

StewieGriffin07

well, i dont know, ill check, Isnt it the same thing though?? ,.. It looks like the cover is on upside down...but i cannot tell?! Emmm, Would there be much point in contacting the publishers or something like that....find out more about it. Or am I wise just shuttin up and keeping it to myself:)

"Lemony Snicket . Series of Unfortunate Events"

.....ironic, perhaps the book is supposed to be like that, an unfortunate event on behalf of the printers.

I had assumed it was printed in reverse or something, but if the cover is just on upside down then it's just simple human error.
