National Geographic's Collectors Corner

Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.

I have two issues that have two ad pages inverted. What’s odd about this inversion is that one of the ads resides on the inside of the back cover. The other ad resides seven pages from the back cover.

1st ad: A full page spread of “Indiana Limestone…”

2nd ad: A full page spread of “Pyrene Kills Fire…”

Again, one of these books has the 1st ad on the inside of the back cover and the 2nd ad seven pages from the back cover. The other book is the exact opposite with the 2nd ad on the back cover, and the 1st ad seven pages from the back cover.

Any thoughts?

Is there any way to find out the number of issues published that month?  It sounds like a second run at the printer's.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 300,000 copies were produced.

A second run would be my guess also, but just wondered if anyone else had come across this or anything else like it.
