holy misprint, batman!

So I bought this book yesterday, fantasy thing by no one I'd ever heard of, but it looked interesting and skimming through the first few pages didn't burn my eyes out (with fantasy, it can be very hit or miss), and it was in the bargain bin of the bookstore, so, hey! New book!
And then I discover a most interesting bookbinding error, in which pages 37-84 are MISSING and, instead, we have pages 501-548 where they should be. Pages 501-548 are in their proper place as well. So that's a bit too much of the end of the plot and not nearly enough of practically the beginning. This? Is the sort of luck I have. I can't even buy a BOOK right.
I've lost the receipt, unfortunately, but I'll try returning it anyway, in the hopes that shoving the ersatz pages into the clerk's face and going WTF will somehow result in an exchange. I'd like a proper copy of this book, y'know. The first 36 pages were interesting.
