Miles, Mutants, & Microbes omnibus book weirdness

[Sandar]

I picked this up in a little coffee shop we go to occasionally, excited to see Bujold on the shelf. I'd never read Falling Free and was enjoying it immensely when I finished page 314 and scanned right to page... 475!

The entire end of Falling Free wasn't there! Page 475 was about halfway through chapter 4 of Diplomatic Immunity.

It didn't look at all like any pages were missing from the binding-it looked as if it was shipped that way.

Is this a "feature" of Omnibus editions, or did I just get a faulty printing?

Thanks! Going crazy over here.

That is really weird. I didn't read the omnibus edition, so I really can't say.

Sorry!

Falling Free is complete in my copy of Miles, Mutants & Microbes. It ends on page 317. You seem to be missing the entirety of Labyrinth and the beginning of Diplomatic Immunity. That's a pretty big printing error!

Thanks, guys! Guess I'm going to go find falling free by itself!
