I came across a 1972 new edition Webster's dictionary that is only printed to page 32, after that, they are all blank pages. Have any of your experts ever seen this copy or have heard of it? And could this possibly have a value to it?I have included pictures to show somewhat that it just stops. Thank you for any info.
A misprinted book or one with binding errors etc. usually increases in value only if the original/whole version is rare or otherwise valuable. So unfortunately it's not likely that a paperback dictionary would fit this rule.
Sadly a misprint like this in a 1972 dictionary will only serve to devalue it. You could always play up the issue and market it to journal writers who love dictionaries and want to write in one!! Selling is all about marketing so perhaps a clever post will help you fetch something for it!!
Book printing is a two stage process of printing and binding, sometimes being done in completely different factories, even in different cities. The intersection between the two is a likely place for an accident to happen. If you could sell books at a premium because they had errors, publishers could make deliberate errors. They are private businesses, in it for the money.
I have a blue covered, The Little Webster, A Lilliput Dictionary, dated 1957 by Langenscheidl KG. The publishers are Berlin- Schoneberg. It was printed in Germany. Could someone give me a ballpark figure of what it is worth today?
