Decided to turn it into art(in a hanging on the wall sense) I loved it so much.

Not only were the letters shaped funny, but the printing company <br />majorly screwed up and it was impossible to read double columns of text <br />that were printed so close together. Even the page numbering was messed <br />up: on the left-hand side of one page I'd see 40,514 and on the <br />right-hand side 999. Every time I closed the book I could never find <br />my place again.
