Fantasy about face...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.frp.gurps (More info?)

I was deeply happy to finally lay my hands on a copy of the new GURPS
Fantasy, and almost revently opened the hardcovers to enjoy the book from
page one, only to find the entire contents were upside down and back to
front. Has this happened to a lot of copies, or am I just the lucky one?
Sadly it was the last copy, so I can't exchange it :-(

My fantasy about face is that I look like Brad Pitt. Much more
disappointing, and much harder to fix.

Airplane stamps are worth a lot more when the plane is printed upside
down. I don't know if that's true of GURPS books, too.

If this really upset you contact <orders@warehouse23.com>, even if you
didn't order it from them. They will most assuredly replace it for you
free of charge, and they like to know about these types of errors even if
you don't want a replacement so they can take the go thwap the printer.

It's the first I've heard of it. Try emailing
<orders@warehouse23.com>, That's the address SJG was giving for
problems with the new Basic Set, so I imagine it'll be the same for
this. I'm sure they'll want to know about this so they can fix it.
