I recently received three parcels of books from my wife for my birthday. When my wife had asked me what I wanted for my birthday I'd suggested just wrapping the parcels of books I'd recently received in the post. The books were the result of several dives down a series of rabbit holes while online shopping.
The first parcel of books were for a particular cover of John Gardner's "Icebreaker" which I discussed in my last post.
The second parcel also contained a John Gardner title published by Coronet-General Books, this time "For Special Services". The book is shown on the left in the photo below. These two books are identical except for one point; the silver title text. The cover on the right shows what the silver text should look like. The cover on the left has misprinted silver text.
I'm not a book printing expert however when I posted this cover image on an online Facebook group a number of people suggested how it could have occurred. If you're interested I listed them on my Less Common Books And Ephemera page on PizGloria.com.
