Terrible thing if you took a book out and replaced it in the wrong location.  They would be mis-sorted . . . and how would you know?  Tsk, tsk tsk. grodog Sage Collector Joined: 16 Nov 2002 Last Visit: 07 Jan 2009 Posts: 2938 Location: Wichita, KS Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 11:58 pm     grodog wrote: An upside-down bound D&DG just sold for over $100 IIRC....

Is that normal?

Who would know the difference?
