Not talking about the ridiculous prices that some of the later Puffin titles go for, but potentially amusing errors in listings.
This was inspired by a current listing for a copy of Deathmoor. The plot summary states:
Yes, in this version of the adventure, your rival is none other than the Dwarven capital city, renowned for the quality of the steel it produces. Makes it a lot more embarrassing when you fail to spot it sneaking up on you while you tail Otus.
And that reminded me of a couple of other daft errors I've seen in the past. Such as the book in which you play a monstrous creature in the grip of a Hobbit-eating addiction - 'Steve Jackson's Creature of Habit'. Or the movie poster-style announcement that the other founder of FF was going to be playing the part of a physical location - IAN LIVINGSTONE IS LAND OF THE LIZARD KING.
Anyone else spotted other such interesting mistakes?
