The missing copy was the consequence of the printers in China using a slightly different version of the same font to the one used by myself and the book designer.  Roll Eyes

The end of the last paragraph should read: “Two gas crises had all but killed the muscle car, and it somehow became more interesting to young guys to have a slow vehicle you could get laid in than to have a great sleeper like a hot VW.”

Hope it hasn't spoiled your enjoyment of the book too much!
