Hi everyone.
I have found a misprint on the spine of my Tintin book. it is a 2018 Farshore edition.
On the spine the title of the book is written as "THE CARB WITH THE GOLDEN CLAWS" instead of "THE CRAB WITH THE GOLDEN CLAWS" and the publishers name is also mispelled as "FarShare" instead of "FarShore"
Has anyone seen this before and is it rare?

I don't think I have ever seen that, so interesting spot.
As to how rare it is, who can say? We don't know how many copies were printed, nor how many were sold of that version, so the answer is that we just don't know.
It also should be kept in mind that even if it is rare, it probably has little or no monetary value, as misprints tend to be not very collectable.
I'm really more suprised that the name of the published would be misprinted; titles have to be changed and reset from time to time, so undoubtedly errors creep in (we've had many a long discussion about the title of The Broken Ear getting a "Tintin and" added to it on spines and cover thumbnail pictures on the backs of books). The publisher's name however should be the same on all its publications, and - in the case of a series like Tintin - I might have thought that it would be easy to spot when next to all the other volumes on a shelf, if they were right and one was wrong.

But as I said, good spot! Has anyone else seen one in circulation?
