# Singed eh?
What an apt typo... or possibly a remarkable bit of punnery by the marketing department?

# yes, intentional
I did actually get a copy from a market stall having never read it before but heard it was good, and the copy did smell like burning and the pages were very stiff and dry as if it had been sitting near/on top of a fire a some point.
Doubt it was a first edition though. :)
