In the Beginner to Bubka book, pages 106 and 107 are the same. Does anybody know what page 106 talks about? Just wondering.

That must be the newer version. I don't have mine yet so I can't be of any help. On second thought, even if I had mine, how the hell would I know what was meant to be on a page that didn't have the right text on it. :confused:

Yeah, it is the second edition. I just got it yesterday. I can tell because the pages 106 & 107 are identical, and page 105 and 106 dont run together properly. That is how i know it is page 106 that is messed up.

We're working on a way to post the missing page online.

Good eye! 5 editors did not catch the mistake.

Page 106 is now available here: http://polevaultpower.com/store/btb.php

I would save it to your hard drive so you can see it in full size.

There you go again 3po - just try it some time. Oh I forgot - of course you will do so next year when you write your book on the vault. :yes:

Actually, the fault is most likely with the printer. It's extremely difficult for an editor or copy editor to visualize which page will go where then the printers set up and print the sheets. The sheets typically have 4 or 8 pages of the book, with printing on both sides (which makes it 8 or 16 pages), which are chopped apart and then assembled for binding.

When is the second printing of the book expected?
