I have a copy off this book left to me by my father. He owned it since i was a child, the reason im asking about it is the book

was printed upside down & backwards. So the beginning is at the back and its upside down also. My dad coveted this book, said

it would  be worth something one day . Has anyone heard of this misprinted book or what it’s value might  be?

Never heard of it. I can’t imagine it would rate a big premium like misprinted stamps or paper currency but someone might be interested.

Now that’s an oddity.  Can’t see it  being worth more than a curiosity.

I’ve heard that sort of view as occasional misperception, often put right by merely sobering up. 🙂

Bit more seriously, it sounds like some kind of bootleg import in copyright violation… Sort of thing you pay for in advance and then stuck with! I’d not want it at any price. These aren’t Gutenberg Bibles! The value is largely of information content; presumably no value in its present format. Something like ‘smoke & mirrors; blowin’ smoke, mirrors required!
Sorry if sounding harsh, but my frank assessment.
