Already heard back from Dice. This is what he had to say: Related, but was wondering where the bidding would start for this? I don't think a book like this would go for much. As Dice pointed out, it's not an attractive book so it would only be a handful of esoteric collectors that would want this and I doubt they'd pay much over Guide for it but I could be wrong. My gut says under $100.

Already heard back from Dice. This is what he had to say: Huge rolls of paper are fed into the press, where it uses large cylinders to print, then feeds the long ribbon of paper to the end where it folds, trims, and stacks the books. The press doesn't stop when the roll runs out, there is an intricate mechanism that allows a fresh roll to splice onto the new roll on the fly. What you have there is the splice where one roll ran out and the next started. The pressman is supposed to toss the handful of books when there is a splice, but it looks like they missed that one. Good news, you probably have the only existing copy of the book with a splice.Bad news, very few people would care as its not a very attractive manufacturing defect.That explains the perfect alignment of the artwork.
