    Default Long time reading fan

    but...new to this site. I am just finishing the 7th book of the Dark Tower. I read the Gunslinger and Drawing of the Three over 20 years ago. About that anyhow. My daughter and daughter in law decided recently that I should start from the beginning and read the whole series. I thank them for their suggestion. It has been a wonderful read.

    Until....this morning. I have come to page 812 of the Dark Tower, the next page is 765. I am missing 47 pages. This is a new paper back. The missing pages 813-861 have been replaced by 765-812.

    At first I thought it was a writers license, to go back exactly to what had been written before. Fortunately or unfortunately I could remember word for word. That is when I said to self..."hey, wait a minute!" Then I checked the page numbers.

    I do not want to skip this part and just continue with the rest of the book. I am a captive.

    Can anyone help me with these missing pages?

    The store where you purchased the book should replace it for you as this was bound incorrectly.

    It is a library book. But I would guess the same suggestion applies. Thanks

    I'd call the library and see if another branch has a copy of the book. They can transfer it for you--it only takes a couple days.

    Welcome!

    I have ordered another copy of the book from the library. I can't imagine how that error got by. Perhaps if someone else borrowed the book they just neglected to inform the library.

    Thanks to everyone who has welcomed me here. I have suggested that my daughter come here and she has made a visit. She is a big time, long time fan of Stephen King
