Misprints or Mistakes in the Books

[colette]

Because you didn't read Russian editions.

I just made this account, but anyway, I found a copy of TWW in a thrift store, where the cover is upside down. As in, the pages and the inner page with the 'This book belongs to' is all upside down. It's a hard cover.

In TVV the Baudelaires tie the notebooks' pages together with Violet's hair ribbon and in THH she ties her hair up.

Looks like there may have been a bad batch of TWW, as tennisguru had exactly the same problem on page 2.

Fredy, I think that's more of a continuity error than a mistake, per se. Obviously they couldn't use Violet's ribbon to hold the Quagmire notebooks together forever, she was going to need to invent something eventually.

Well that depends on what sort of mistakes we're talking about

[Dante]

I appreciate the point. To your credit, that's one of the plot errors in the books which hasn't been pointed out very much, if at all.

On Page 167 of TMM it says "Quckly" instead of "Quickly" and I'm not entirely convinced that Handler's using it to illustrate a point.

You're right! I have genuinely never seen that pointed out before. Sharp reading, countricardo.

Well in my second hand copy of TUA there are pink underlines from a previous owner.

In my copy of TBB, half of the blurb is missing.

[Semblance]

I found this at a library.

[bear]

it's probably discolored from being in the sun.

[Semblance]

Possibly, the pattern and color just seemed so random and perfectly done that I thought it could be a mistake.

[MisterM]

It's definitley book discolouration. I have two copies of UE books from my work (which were discarded because they were damaged/old but i wanted to keep them) and they are much paler than the rest of my collection.

[Semblance]

If any exist, a mis-coloured spine would be a very fantastic addition to a collection.
