Hello,

I had a copy of the first printing of The War with Mr. Wizzle. I recall that the book contained a slip of paper explaining that the Magnetronic 515 had gummed things up and switched the pages around. I've long since lost it and scoured the Internet for a copy but to no avail. I'd be so, so grateful if you could upload a copy of this original error message. Thanks so much for considering and for so many years of enjoyable reading!

Wow, Tanya! This certainly is a deep cut. I'd forgotten that about the original WIZZLE until I read your post.

Sadly, I no longer have a copy of that error message to share with you. I even checked my (very) old copy from the first printing, but it isn't there. Sorry.

Thanks for being a long-time fan!

When I learned about this slip inserted into The War with Mr. Wizzle, I decided I really, really wanted a copy. So when one of the big online used book mega-sellers had a blowout sale, I ordered several dozen copies of the book, just hoping one would retain its insert. (As it turns out, I got four of them!) That was a few years ago.

So, @Tanya, here's the text on that slip:

Even computers make mistakes!
Pages 180 & 181 of this book have
been switched with pages 178 & 179.
You should read p. 180-181 before
178-179.

     Thank you

Raymond, you never cease to amaze me!                                                                                       --GK--

This should be added to the main site under curiousities. (Alongside the missing epilogue of Macdonald Hall). It deserves more attention.
