| | |  Some copies of Deathly Hallows missing pages!
It's now been reported that some copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows are missing pages - in fact, from 371 to 402.
CNN even did a cover on the story, which can be viewed here. Apparently, this is not only happening in local areas, but possibly nation-wide.
However, Scholastic quickly offered up apologies. They were also quoted saying: Quote:
“Printing and distributing 12 million copies of a book is a Herculean task, and it is not surprising that some books would have printing errors.”

It easily happens when you're distriputing 12 million + copies.
I hope most of the books are alright.

Yesh. I already knew this.
I was one of those people to get a misprint book  .
It doubled afew pages and a chapter of fifteen, sixteen and seventeen, while I was already reading seventeen. then there was no eighteen.

My isn't missing pages but the binding is horrible and my cover is already falling off of my book. I got the Deluxe Edition yesterday and the binding isn't much better so I put it away to keep it safe and kept out my already falling apart book.

LOL, I saw this on the news as well. They were talking to a woman who was in the middle of reading and said that the book just jumped 50 pages ahead.  I'd be so mad! But, of course, having to print this many copies makes extra room for error. It's understandable!

Yeah, there was this warped copy at the midnight launch I went too, it was all wonky, I'm not surprised a few copies are missing pages!

I feel so bad for those people with missing pages and bad bindings. I do think that I missed a page or two but not because it is not there, just because I missed reading it! | |
