I just started reading What Alice Forgot, and half of chapter 6 and all of 7 and 8 are missing! Brand new books from Barnes and Noble! Anyone ever had that happen? And now what do I do? I ordered it online.

I don't think that I've purchased anything with pages/chapters missing. However, I used to work in a bindery and things like this would happen. Usually the machine or person operating it would catch it. But sometimes a book will get through accidentally.

I haven't seen that problem, but I did pull a book off the shelf at Barnes & Noble once that had a cover that said one thing and contents that were a completely different book!

It is typically a printing error. Happens frequently. I know it is a hassle, but just take it back and they will exchange it.

Perhaps that's what Alice forgot?

Ugh! How disappointing. :/ I'm sure Barnes & Noble will send you a replacement.
I really liked that book, btw.

A few years ago I was reading Kathryn Graham's bio when the story seemed to take a really strange jump. I kept re reading and just could not figure it out, time seemed to jump. Then finally about 10 pages later they mentioned a name but not any name that had been mentioned before. In the center of my book-numbering -was right on, was an entirely different book.

I've never had it happen with a real book. But a few times I've gotten audio books that were missing parts.
I suggest contacting B&N and telling them. I bet they send a replacement.

Perhaps that's what Alice forgot? Giggle. We had a book that had printing errors - I don't specifically remember what they were, as the books was Dh's, but I know they were there. I've heard you can just take it back to the store, and they'll exchange for you, and I believe send back to the publisher for reimbursement to the store. |

We had that happen once. The store exchanged it for us, no problem.

I had that happen with a book once and I just contacted the publisher directly. It was White Oleander. They sent me a new one if I remember correctly.

I ordered it online. A very long time ago, I had a book who's back half was a duplication of the first half. I didn't know until I got halfway through.  It was a paperback and I think I may have ended up throwing it away. For a new hardback? I'd start by contacting B&N online and see what they have to say. |

I just noticed that with a cookbook I bought from Amazon back in April. I didn't discover the error until just a few days ago when all of a sudden I noticed the book skips from page 130 to page 184. I just didn't use it that much before then. Now Amazon says it's too late to return it. I get it, it's past the 30 day return point. I think I'm going to write an email to the publisher though just in case I can get it replaced. It can't hurt.
Geez, this is getting as back as spelling errors.
Speaking of which I did notice in a book I was reading last night from Amazon that I just got and will be sending back that at least 6 pages so far have little cuts at least 3" by 3" at the bottom of a page where part of the text is cut. That one has been within 30 days and I will be sending it back.

I bought a book once and got to about page 50 and it started at the first page again and then did the same again. So I got the first third of the book three times.
It was a publisher's clearance paperback that I paid a couple of bucks for so I just threw it away but I still want to read that book and have not seen it anywhere since.
