NOTES
Gathering A bound in reverse, going A3, A4, A1, A2. 4C3-4C6 seemingly printed on paper that was laid double-thick on the press, causing them to split in half upon binding and be printed on one side with the other half blank. Notably all text is present and in order. 4C6 is still half attached to its pair, allowing for easy viewing of the printing mistake.
