1. Yes, I once bought a book that I found was missing the entire last chapter!

It was a Carole Nelson Douglas mystery. I turned the page to start the last chapter, and it was the first chapter all over again! We were on vacation and I didn't have a receipt for the book so my sweet husband drove me to a mall bookstore and I read the last chapter! I felt it was okay to do that since I had paid for the book. Since the one at the mall had the last chapter, it must have just been the print run that I bought at my local bookstore that had the problem. I did call my local bookstore and tell them when we got home. They offered me another copy, but since I had already read the book I just said I wanted them to prevent someone else from having the same problem. Weird that books missing a chapter happened to both of us while reading a mystery book!
