I have also seen double stacking when the set up is being done. So if a couple of the make ready copies got through they may have a double sig and still have all the other pages.Omega Man said:Yeah, I'd send it back for replacement for sure.
I think what you've got is a wrong pocket. When they bound it, the individual signatures were put sequentially in a line of hoppers in what is called a collator. During collation sigs are pulled in reverse order and pile on each other one after another until the first signature lands on top and the resulting book blocks are routed to the actual binder and thence onto the three-knife which trims the head, foot, and thumb-edge of the book. A wrong pocket might involve just one or two stray signatures but usually, in my experience at least, involves one or more handfuls of the wrong signature being thrown in the hopper or "pocket". The good news is that wrong pockets do not normally involve much more than that, so a replacement should quite safe and complete.

How sad, you must have been very disapointed when you realised what is printing.rust said:How wrong was my rumour ...
The German version at the printer is the MGT core rulebook, not the
Spinward Marches book.
Mental note: Do not trust an illiterate printer.
