Terry Pratchett Carpet People page cut oddities
Right, I tried this over on alt.fan.pratchett and got nowhere. Since you
people are considerably more knowledgeable about books generally, and since my collector's instinct has only been activated in the last few months, perhaps someone here can help? I recently acquired a copy of the original edition of Terry Pratchett's /The Carpet People/, and while examining it for condition came across something odd about some of the pages. Does anyone else have a copy where the first page of the second signature (pp 33, 34, 63,64) is a little shorter than the rest? Or some very neat diagonally-cut corners, at exactly the same angle but with different sized chunks missing, at the bottom edge of a few apparently-random pages? [Is this a common production flaw I've not come across before? Or has some earlier reader decided to cut off bits of their pages rather than create a dog-ear?] Enquiring minds (OK, just mine) want to know. TIA Mike M --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
