Orb Speculative Fiction [#5, 2003] ed. Sarah Endacott (Orb Publications, $16.95, 172+4pp, digest s/b, cover by Peter Loader) []
The last numbered page is 172, but three unnumbered pages follow for a supposed ’total’ of 175—actually of course there are 176, but due to a numbering error (pagination jumps from 16 to 18 in the middle of the Duffy story, though with no loss of text) the right-hand pages for most of the issue have even numbers and the left-hand pages odd numbers; very disconcerting when you notice it.
